Where stoop turns up in the game
stoop is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 stoop is the trap
- curveverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is arch, in the sense "form an arch or curve", and stoop is one of the three tiles that lose.
- bendverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is flex, in the sense "bend a joint", and stoop is on the board beside it.
- recreateverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is play, in the sense "engage in recreational activities rather than work", and stoop is one of the three tiles that lose.
- restrainverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is keep, in the sense "prevent the action or expression of", so stoop is there to be ruled out.
