Where element turns up in the game

The puzzles where element is the trap
- settingnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is scene, in the sense "the context and environment in which something is set", and element is one of the three tiles that lose.
- stovenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is range, in the sense "a kitchen appliance used for cooking food", so element is there to be ruled out.
