Where explicit turns up in the game
explicit 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 four other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where explicit is the trap
- uncheckedadjective, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is unbridled, in the sense "not restrained or controlled", and explicit is on the board beside it.
- ingenuousadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is innocent, in the sense "lacking in sophistication or worldliness", so explicit is there to be ruled out.
- noticeableadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is detectable, in the sense "capable of being detected", and explicit is on the board beside it.
- tangibleadjective, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is touchable, in the sense "perceptible by the senses especially the sense of touch", and explicit is on the board beside it.
Play explicit
The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so explicit reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.

One vocabulary, two jobs
explicit is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 4. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
