Where exposure turns up in the game
exposure is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 3, Ridgeline. 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 exposure is the trap
- backgroundnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is ground, in the sense "the part of a scene (or picture) that lies behind objects in the foreground", so exposure is there to be ruled out.
- manipulationnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is use, in the sense "exerting shrewd or devious influence especially for one's own advantage", and exposure is one of the three tiles that lose.
