Here is a brain exer­cise whose aim is to stim­u­late the con­nec­tions or associations between words.

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