Where routine turns up in the game
routine is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 1, Foothills. 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 routine is the trap
- numbernoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is figure, in the sense "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals", so routine is there to be ruled out.
- rapportnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is trust, in the sense "a close, harmonious relationship in which people understand each other well", and routine is one of the three tiles that lose.
