Level 1 · easy
- ELEVATOR
- BUTTON + FLOOR
- ITALY
- PISA + PASTA
- LIFEGUARD
- WHISTLE + SUNSCREEN
- OFFICE
- DESK + STAPLER
The card that did not belong: LANTERN, OLIVE, PEANUT, PRINTER. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- CARROT
- SNOWMAN + RABBIT
- SKIN
- TATTOO + SUNBURN
- LAMP
- GENIE + MOTH
- SLIPPER
- CINDERELLA + BALLET
The card that did not belong: COMET, FRECKLE, TUNNEL, BATHROBE. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- PLASTIC
- SURGEON + STRAW
- DECK
- SAILOR + JOKER
- FAN
- BREEZE + STADIUM
- BRONZE
- STATUE + SUNTAN
The card that did not belong: BAG, ONION, PROPELLER, DONKEY. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- TURTLE
- NINJA + SLOW
- WATERLOO
- NAPOLEON + ABBA
- JASMINE
- ALADDIN + TEA
- CURRENT
- ELECTRICITY + NEWS
The card that did not belong: SAUSAGE, BATTLE, ROBOT, RIVER. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
