Where deep turns up in the game
deep is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 5, Summit. 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 deep is the trap
- secretadjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is underground, in the sense "conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods", and deep is one of the three tiles that lose.
- thickadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is dense, in the sense "having component parts closely crowded together", so deep is there to be ruled out.
- thickadjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is chummy, in the sense "associated on close terms", so deep is there to be ruled out.
