The 2 synonyms for age

Interchangeable with age in this sense

Audited under age's own entry, so the meaning quoted is the one age carries in that sense.

matureverb, in the sense "grow old or older"

Recorded from the other side of the pair

These entries were written under the other word and name age as the true synonym, so the sense quoted is theirs.

eraera is a noun in the sense "a distinct period of time in history"

one of these comes from age's own entry in the bank, and one was audited from the other word's side of the pair. Both directions were read by a human, and only the sense quoted differs.

Where age turns up in the game

age is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 2, Treeline. 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 age is the trap

girthnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is circumference, in the sense "the measurement around something thick or round", so age is there to be ruled out.
wakeverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is awaken, in the sense "cause to become awake or conscious", so age is there to be ruled out.

Play age

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

Every word is an answer somewhere and a trap somewhere else

age is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 2. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
