Where feed turns up in the game

feed is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 1, Foothills. 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 feed is the trap

serveverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is dish, in the sense "provide (usually but not necessarily food)", so feed is there to be ruled out.
injectverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is shoot, in the sense "force or drive (a fluid or gas) into by piercing", with feed sitting one tile away.
chokeverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is throttle, in the sense "reduce the air supply", and feed is on the board beside it.
