Goal

All the words but one share a meaning. Tap the odd one out — as many as you can in 60 seconds. After each answer, the reason is shown.

Levels

• 4 right at a level moves you up; 2 misses in a row move you down.
• First, groups that are far apart (animals and furniture); then close ones (fruits and vegetables); then three words that mean the same and one that means the opposite; then less everyday words; at level 8, five words.

Scoring

A right answer earns 3 + the level, plus 1 for every 3 in a row (up to +3). A miss costs 2 + the level.

Word Meaning

Sorting words by meaning works the store of word knowledge we draw on to understand and to speak precisely — and spotting a near-miss means checking every word, not just the first impression.
