GAME - 27 AC 3x2 (Experimental)

I thought about adding a way to check if your answer is correct for 3x2s (in the vein of Kalyan Thathas 3x2+1)... here's what resulted. I hope it is fun to play too...

AC 3x2 (the AC is for answer checking). Six words, regular 3x2, so two one word answers for each group of three words. The AC part is that the two answers along with another word (the final answer) form two common phrases/words on their own.

Example puzzle (mangled one of Kalyan Thatha's previous puzzles):
Amiss
Care
Law
Pity
Shine
Throw

Example answer:
TAKE {Amiss, Care, Pity}
OUT {Law, Shine, Throw}

TAKE-LEAVE, LEAVE-OUT
Final answer: LEAVE

Ok. For real now:

Black
Club
Dye
Grounds
Water
Bow

GAME - 26 3x3 SIMPLIFIED

I guess this 3x3 was a nightmare. Just the way Suhrid likes them to be :)

Let me simplify it a bit by sorting out the clues.

ball / elbow / show
bread / joke / news
middle / room / working


After finding the three answers, you also have to find a word which can be associated with the 3 answers you get.

Have fun!

Game 13 (Solved)

(Sent by Suhrid)

And all of you playing this will like a slightly more involved variant (called a 3x3 for obvious reasons). It's the same word association game but at two levels - also, at the first level, you aren't told which three words go together (so thery're just arranged alphabetically).

Here's one (inspired by a puzzle from a website I frequent): have a go!

Bull's
Date
Evil
Man
Moon
Red
Stunt
Through
Trouble
