Where tidy turns up in the game
tidy is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 2, Treeline. 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 tidy is the trap
- respectableadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is good, in the sense "deserving of esteem and respect", and tidy is one of the three tiles that lose.
- sprawlingadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is expansive, in the sense "spreading out over a large area in an irregular, untidy way", so tidy is there to be ruled out.
- reformverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is reclaim, in the sense "bring, lead, or force to abandon a wrong or evil course of life, conduct, and adopt a right one", so tidy is there to be ruled out.
