Where separated turns up in the game
separated 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 four other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where separated is the trap
- reconciledverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is reunited, in the sense "restored a friendly relationship after a period of conflict or estrangement", so separated is there to be ruled out.
- remoteadjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is outside, in the sense "unlikely to occur", with separated sitting one tile away.
- distinguishedadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is grand, in the sense "used of a person's appearance or behavior", with separated sitting one tile away.
- contraryadjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is adverse, in the sense "in an opposing direction", so separated is there to be ruled out.
