3632 - Word brain teaser


I failed this 100% after giving it a 10% effort. Give it a try. Solutions below....

In the left column you have a pair of words. Your goal is to find a third word that is connected or associated with both of these two words.

The first pair is PIANO and LOCK. The answer is KEY. The word key is connected with both the word piano and the word lock: there are KEYS on a piano and you use a KEY to lock doors.

Key is what is called a homograph: a word that has more than one meaning but is always spelled the same.

1. LOCK – PIANO

2. SHIP – CARD

3. TREE – CAR

4. SCHOOL – EYE

5. PILLOW – COURT

6. RIVER – MONEY

7. BED – PAPER

8. ARMY – WATER

9. TENNIS – NOISE

10. EGYPTIAN – MOTHER

11. SMOKER – PLUMBER

5. PILLOW –  COURT  > Case

6. RIVER – MONEY > Bank (Flow is also possible)

7. BED – PAPER > Sheet

8. ARMY – WATER > Tank

9. TENNIS – NOISE > Racket

10. EGYPTIAN – MOTHER > Mummy

11. SMOKER – PLUMBER > Pipe

easier as I went on or I "got it" as time went on. Either way, too much brain power in the morning.

I only got a couple.
I came up with "crack" for the last one. I like it better!

John - I'm not sure if I like plumbers crack or not. Just thinking about it makes me want to go to the nearest porn site and reset my brain.
