Where story turns up in the game
story is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 1, Foothills. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where story is the trap
- reportnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is reputation, in the sense "the general estimation that the public has for a person", so story is there to be ruled out.
- coveragenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is reporting, in the sense "the news as presented by reporters for newspapers or radio or television", so story is there to be ruled out.
- funnoun, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is playfulness, in the sense "a disposition to find (or make) causes for amusement", and story is one of the three tiles that lose.
