Where raise turns up in the game
raise 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 six other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
4 of the 6 puzzles where raise is the trap
- fireverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is light, in the sense "start or maintain a fire in", and raise is one of the three tiles that lose.
- shootingnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is shot, in the sense "the act of firing a projectile", so raise is there to be ruled out.
- enterverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is participate, in the sense "become a participant", and raise is on the board beside it.
- risenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is rising, in the sense "a movement upward", so raise is there to be ruled out.
