Where improvise turns up in the game
improvise is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 5, Summit. 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 improvise is the trap
- hackverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is cut, in the sense "be able to manage or manage successfully", so improvise is there to be ruled out.
- codifyverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is systematize, in the sense "to arrange rules or practices into a formal, organized system", and improvise is one of the three tiles that lose.
- enunciateverb, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is enounce, in the sense "to pronounce words clearly and distinctly", and improvise is one of the three tiles that lose.
