Where strength turns up in the game
strength 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where strength is the trap
- massnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is volume, in the sense "the property of something that is great in magnitude", so strength is there to be ruled out.
- advantagenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is vantage, in the sense "the quality of having a superior or more favorable position", and strength is on the board beside it.
- posturenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is carriage, in the sense "characteristic way of bearing one's body", with strength sitting one tile away.
