Where protest turns up in the game
protest is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 protest is the trap
- solidaritynoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is unity, in the sense "unity and mutual support among members of a group, especially in a shared cause", so protest is there to be ruled out.
- clashnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is skirmish, in the sense "a brief, sudden fight or violent confrontation", and protest is on the board beside it.
