Where godly turns up in the game
godly 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 one other puzzle, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzle where godly is the trap
- divineadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is inspired, in the sense "being of such surpassing excellence as to suggest inspiration by the gods", and godly is one of the three tiles that lose.
