Where land turns up in the game
land 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 land is the trap
- reachverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is hit, in the sense "reach a point in time, or a certain state or level", and land is one of the three tiles that lose.
- shoreverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is prop, in the sense "support by placing against something solid or rigid", and land is on the board beside it.
- gamenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is biz, in the sense "your occupation or line of work", with land sitting one tile away.
- wakeverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is awaken, in the sense "cause to become awake or conscious", so land is there to be ruled out.
