Where terms turns up in the game
terms 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 one other puzzle, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzle where terms is the trap
- pricenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is cost, in the sense "the property of having material worth (often indicated by the amount of money something would bring if sold)", and terms is on the board beside it.
