Where development turns up in the game
development 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 development is the trap
- exploitationnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is using, in the sense "an act that exploits or victimizes someone (treats them unfairly)", with development sitting one tile away.
- floodnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is torrent, in the sense "an overwhelming number or amount", so development is there to be ruled out.
