Grab your coffee — it's Friday, which means it's time to give your brain a little workout before the weekend. Today we've got a "What Connects These?" puzzle: five sets of clues, each hiding a common thread. Figure out the link for each group!
Golden Gate, Brooklyn, Tower, Sydney Harbour
Mercury, Venus, Pluto, Neptune
Spade, Heart, Club, Diamond
Panama, Fedora, Baseball, Beanie
Cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, Brie
For a bonus challenge, try to name the odd one out in each list before checking the answers below — one item in every group breaks the pattern in a sneaky way!
Good luck, and no peeking until you've given it a real shot!
Answers
Bridges — famous bridges around the world. Odd one out: Sydney Harbour Bridge is an arch bridge; the other three are suspension bridges.
Named after Roman gods/mythology — all are named for figures from Roman mythology. Odd one out: Pluto is no longer classified as a full planet (it's a dwarf planet).
Playing card suits — the four suits in a standard deck. Odd one out: Hearts and Diamonds are red; Spades and Clubs are black — so really it splits 2-and-2, but Spade is the only suit that's also a gardening tool!
Types of hats — all styles of headwear. Odd one out: Beanie is knit/soft; the others have brims.
Cheeses — all are types of cheese. Odd one out: Brie is a soft cheese; the other three are semi-hard/hard cheeses.
