Where game turns up in the game
game 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 four other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where game is the trap
- quickadjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is warm, in the sense "easily aroused or excited", with game sitting one tile away.
- plotnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is patch, in the sense "a small area of ground covered by specific vegetation", with game sitting one tile away.
- funnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is merriment, in the sense "activities that are enjoyable or amusing", so game is there to be ruled out.
- playnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is gaming, in the sense "the act of playing for stakes in the hope of winning (including the payment of a price for a chance to win a prize)", and game is on the board beside it.
