Level 1 · easy
- SWIMMING
- POOL + GOGGLES
- GUITAR
- STRING + AMPLIFIER
- CHRISTMAS
- REINDEER + CHIMNEY
- PAINTER
- BRUSH + CANVAS
The card that did not belong: TOWEL, GIRAFFE, PINE, WALLET. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- JUNGLE
- TARZAN + MONKEY
- WOODPECKER
- BEAK + HAMMER
- METEOR
- WISH + DINOSAUR
- FLOOD
- NOAH + BASEMENT
The card that did not belong: VIOLIN, NEST, MAYOR, TSUNAMI. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- DEGREE
- THERMOMETER + UNIVERSITY
- SHOOT
- BAMBOO + PHOTOGRAPHER
- RACKET
- SQUASH + NOISE
- SPLIT
- DIVORCE + ATOM
The card that did not belong: CELSIUS, WOMBAT, BADMINTON, RAKE. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- RAM
- SHEEP + MEMORY
- CROWN
- DENTIST + PRINCESS
- FOUNDATION
- MAKEUP + CONCRETE
- CONDUCTOR
- SYMPHONY + COPPER
The card that did not belong: GOAT, PUDDLE, BRICK, OTTER. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
