Where award turns up in the game
award is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 3, Ridgeline. 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 award is the trap
- assistancenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is aid, in the sense "gift of money or other material help to support a person or cause", with award sitting one tile away.
- royaltynoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is residual, in the sense "a payment made to an author, composer, or inventor for the ongoing use of their work", so award is there to be ruled out.

award 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.
