Where community turns up in the game
community 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 community is the trap
- worldnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is man, in the sense "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth", so community is there to be ruled out.
- systemnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is scheme, in the sense "a group of independent but interrelated elements comprising a unified whole", and community is on the board beside it.
