Where snap turns up in the game
snap 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 four other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where snap is the trap
- catchverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is capture, in the sense "succeed in catching or seizing, especially after a chase", so snap is there to be ruled out.
- cracknoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is gap, in the sense "a narrow opening", and snap is one of the three tiles that lose.
- drillverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is bore, in the sense "make a hole, especially with a pointed power or hand tool", with snap sitting one tile away.
- shotnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is stab, in the sense "informal words for any attempt or effort", and snap is on the board beside it.
