Where eminence turns up in the game
eminence is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 2, Treeline. 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 eminence is the trap
- notenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is tone, in the sense "a notation representing the pitch and duration of a musical sound", and eminence is one of the three tiles that lose.
- significancenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is import, in the sense "a meaning that is not expressly stated but can be inferred", so eminence is there to be ruled out.
- distinctionnoun, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is differentiation, in the sense "a discrimination between things as different and distinct on the basis of their characteristics or attributes", and eminence is on the board beside it.
