Where composition turns up in the game

composition is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 2, Treeline. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in one other puzzle, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzle where composition is the trap

balancenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is proportion, in the sense "harmonious arrangement or relation of parts or elements within a whole (as in a design)", and composition is on the board beside it.

Play composition

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