Where indicative turns up in the game
indicative 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 indicative is the trap
- irrefutableadjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is positive, in the sense "impossible to deny or disprove", so indicative is there to be ruled out.
- meatyadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is substantive, in the sense "being on topic and prompting thought", and indicative is on the board beside it.
