Where sacred turns up in the game
sacred is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 3, Ridgeline. 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 sacred is the trap
- bassadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is deep, in the sense "having or denoting a low vocal or instrumental range", so sacred is there to be ruled out.
- blessedadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is blest, in the sense "highly favored or fortunate (as e.g. by divine grace)", and sacred is one of the three tiles that lose.
