- SCRUM + MOUTHGUARD
- KITCHEN
- SPATULA + DISHWASHER
- HORROR
- CHAINSAW + NIGHTMARE
The card that did not belong: DOLPHIN, GOALPOST, HIMALAYA, VAMPIRE. A gentle start: the links are the ones that come to mind first.
Level 2 · medium

- ATLAS + EQUATOR
- HEADACHE
- ASPIRIN + JACKHAMMER
- WEREWOLF
- HOWL + BULLET
- INBOX + ATTACHMENT
The card that did not belong: CONTINENT, PAINT, MIDNIGHT, CLOGS. One step less obvious, so the decoy had room to tempt.
Level 3 · tricky
- POT
- STEW + GERANIUM
- PYTHON
- PROGRAMMER + TERRARIUM
- ANCHOR
- SEABED + TELEVISION
- POINT
- DECIMAL + ARROWHEAD
The card that did not belong: WAFFLE, COBRA, PARMESAN, SHARPENER. Built on a word with two meanings, which is what joins two words that have nothing to do with each other.
Level 4 · hard
- MICHELANGELO
- CEILING + TURTLE
- DANISH
- PASTRY + HAMLET
- EAGLE
- PUTTER + EYESIGHT
- TAN
