Where date turns up in the game
date is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across 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 date is the trap
- couplenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is match, in the sense "a pair of people who live together", and date is on the board beside it.
- ageverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is mature, in the sense "grow old or older", so date is there to be ruled out.
- couplenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is duo, in the sense "a pair who associate with one another", and date is on the board beside it.
