Where edit turns up in the game

edit is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 edit is the trap

decorateverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is grace, in the sense "make more attractive by adding ornament, colour, etc", so edit is there to be ruled out.
strengthenverb, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is fortify, in the sense "make strong or stronger", and edit is one of the three tiles that lose.

Play edit

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