The context the game gives you. The gloss above is for readers here, not for players there.

The true synonym

livid

Where white turns up in the game

white 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 two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzles where white is the trap

cleanadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is neat, in the sense "free from clumsiness", and white is one of the three tiles that lose.
blackadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is smutty, in the sense "soiled with dirt or soot", and white is on the board beside it.

Play white

The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so white reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.
