Where amusing turns up in the game

amusing is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 2, Treeline. It is never used as a wrong tile elsewhere in the bank, so every board it appears on is a board it can win.

Play amusing

The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so amusing reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.
