Where adaptation turns up in the game
adaptation is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 3, Ridgeline. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where adaptation is the trap
- consistencynoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is body, in the sense "the property of holding together and retaining its shape", with adaptation sitting one tile away.
- reconciliationnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is balancing, in the sense "getting two things to correspond", and adaptation is one of the three tiles that lose.
