Where discharge turns up in the game
discharge 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where discharge is the trap
- currentnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is stream, in the sense "a steady flow of a fluid (usually from natural causes)", so discharge is there to be ruled out.
- relieveverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is lighten, in the sense "alleviate or remove (pressure or stress) or make less oppressive", and discharge is one of the three tiles that lose.
- dripnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is dribble, in the sense "flowing in drops", with discharge sitting one tile away.
