Where position turns up in the game
position is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 1, Foothills. 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 position is the trap
- postnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is mail, in the sense "any particular collection of letters or packages that is delivered", so position is there to be ruled out.
- sidenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is slope, in the sense "an elevated geological formation", and position is one of the three tiles that lose.
- posturenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is carriage, in the sense "characteristic way of bearing one's body", so position is there to be ruled out.
