Where posture turns up in the game
posture 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 five other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
4 of the 5 puzzles where posture is the trap
- physiquenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is build, in the sense "the form or muscular build of a person's body", and posture is one of the three tiles that lose.
- gaitnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is stride, in the sense "a particular manner of walking or moving on foot", so posture is there to be ruled out.
- torsonoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is trunk, in the sense "the human trunk, excluding the head and limbs", with posture sitting one tile away.
- delusionnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is illusion, in the sense "the act of deluding", so posture is there to be ruled out.
