Where image turns up in the game
image 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 two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where image is the trap
- rangenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is reach, in the sense "an area in which something acts or operates or has power or control:", and image is one of the three tiles that lose.
- guisenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is pretext, in the sense "an artful or simulated semblance", and image is on the board beside it.
