Where romantic turns up in the game
romantic 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 two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where romantic is the trap
- masternoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is maestro, in the sense "an artist of consummate skill", so romantic is there to be ruled out.
- avuncularadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is grandfatherly, in the sense "kind, tolerant, and friendly toward a younger person, in the manner of a favorite uncle", and romantic is on the board beside it.
