Where disciplinary turns up in the game
disciplinary is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 disciplinary is the trap
- punishingadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is hard, in the sense "characterized by effort to the point of exhaustion", and disciplinary is on the board beside it.
- culturaladjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is ethnic, in the sense "denoting or deriving from or distinctive of the ways of living built up by a group of people", so disciplinary is there to be ruled out.
