The puzzles where plenty is the trap
- highlyadverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is extremely, in the sense "to a high degree or extent", so plenty is there to be ruled out.
- considerablyadverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is substantially, in the sense "to a great extent or degree", so plenty is there to be ruled out.
- messnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is muss, in the sense "a state of confusion and disorderliness", and plenty is on the board beside it.
