Where appeal turns up in the game
appeal is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 1, Foothills. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where appeal is the trap
- concedeverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is grant, in the sense "to give up or yield, acknowledging another's claim", and appeal is on the board beside it.
- reserveverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is hold, in the sense "arrange for and reserve (something for someone else) in advance", so appeal is there to be ruled out.
- quoteverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is cite, in the sense "refer to for illustration or proof", so appeal is there to be ruled out.
