Where year turns up in the game
year 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 year is the trap
- classnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is division, in the sense "a league ranked by quality", with year sitting one tile away.
- classnoun, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is stratum, in the sense "people having the same social, economic, or educational status", with year sitting one tile away.
