Relating Words: In this game, there is a set of four to six words (depending upon difficulty level) and you have to think of an additional word which would relate to all the previous words in such a way that they make sense when used in conjunction with the single new word.

For instance, let the four given words be bugs, post, cover and sheet. The fifth word could be bed because if you use bed with each of these words, you'll get the following:-

bedbugs, bedpost, bed cover and bed sheet.
