Level 1 · easy
- LAPTOP
- CHARGER + WEBCAM
- BARISTA
- LATTE + BEANS
- GARAGE
- TOOLBOX + DRIVEWAY
- CAMEL
- HUMP + OASIS
The card that did not belong: SHORTS, MOCHA, CABIN, DUNES. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium
- YOGA
- MAT + LOTUS
- PUNK
- MOHAWK + PIERCING
- DALI
- SURREALISM + MOUSTACHE
- SAUNA
- BATHROBE + FINLAND
The card that did not belong: INCENSE, OYSTER, SPAIN, JURY. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- BREW
- CAULDRON + HOPS
- STRIKE
- PINS + PROTEST
- SOLE
- FILLET + COBBLER
- IRIS
- FLORIST + EYEBALL
The card that did not belong: SUNROOF, UNION, BIRDCAGE, EYELID. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- GOLDFISH
- FAIRGROUND + MEMORY
- APRIL
- FOOL + SHOWERS
- ALIEN
- SPACESHIP + PASSPORT
- VALLEY
- SILICON + LILY
The card that did not belong: HAIRNET, EASTER, BAGEL, MEADOW. A lateral one: the link takes a moment and is airtight once you see it.
