Where cascade turns up in the game
cascade 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 two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where cascade is the trap
- streaknoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is run, in the sense "an unbroken series of events", and cascade is one of the three tiles that lose.
- downturnnoun, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is downswing, in the sense "a worsening of business or economic activity", so cascade is there to be ruled out.
