Where class turns up in the game
class is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across two difficulty tiers. 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 class is the trap
- coursenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is row, in the sense "a layer of masonry", so class is there to be ruled out.
- familynoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is fellowship, in the sense "an association of people who share common beliefs or activities", and class is one of the three tiles that lose.
- yearnoun, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is twelvemonth, in the sense "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days", so class is there to be ruled out.
