Odd one out
Four words, three of the same class and one that is not. In Spanish or English the shape gives the class away — an -ly ending is an adverb — and in Japanese it mostly does not: 食べる is a verb and 時間 is not, but that is not something the word shows you, it is something you know. The four come from the same level on purpose: if the odd one were always the rarest word, you could win by pointing at the one that looks unfamiliar, knowing none of them.
