Level 1 · easy
- BEAVER

- TIDE
- MOON + SANDCASTLE
- ROSE
- PETALS + VALENTINE
- RAINBOW
- UNICORN + PRISM
The card that did not belong: KAZOO, SEASHELL, PORRIDGE, STORM. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- TEAPOT
- SPOUT + PORCELAIN

- SMOOTHIE
- BLENDER + MANGO
- EXPLORER
- COLUMBUS + MACHETE
The card that did not belong: KETTLE, PLATYPUS, YOGURT, SKYLIGHT. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.

- COMPOSER + PENALTY
- CANVAS
- EASEL + TENT
- PERCH
- BIRDCAGE + GILLS
- RANGE
- ANDES + RIFLE
The card that did not belong: GOAL, WRAPPER, BRANCH, MUSTARD. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.

- WORM
- COMPOST + ANTIVIRUS
- BLANKET
- PICNIC + SNOWFALL
- POPEYE
