Where erase turns up in the game
erase is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 5, Summit. It is never used as a wrong tile elsewhere in the bank, so every board it appears on is a board it can win.
Play erase
The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so erase reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.
