The 5 synonyms for free

Interchangeable with free, one per sense

Audited under free's own entry, so the meaning quoted is the one free carries in that sense.

  • detachedadjective, in the sense "not fixed in position"
  • disengageverb, in the sense "free or remove obstruction from"

Recorded from the other side of the pair

These entries were written under the other word and name free as the true synonym, so the sense quoted is theirs.

  • absolveabsolve is a verb in the sense "let off the hook"
  • devoiddevoid is an adjective in the sense "completely wanting or lacking"
  • releaserelease is a verb in the sense "make (assets) available"

two of these come from free's own entries in the bank, and three were audited from the other word's side of the pair. Both directions were read by a human, and only the sense quoted differs.

Where free turns up in the game

free is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 3, Ridgeline. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in seven other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

4 of the 7 puzzles where free is the trap

  • countrynoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is land, in the sense "the people who live in a nation or country", and free is on the board beside it.
  • excuseverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is explain, in the sense "serve as a reason or cause or justification of", so free is there to be ruled out.
  • givenadjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is granted, in the sense "acknowledged as a supposition", so free is there to be ruled out.
  • excuseverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is condone, in the sense "excuse, overlook, or make allowances for", so free is there to be ruled out.

Every word is an answer somewhere and a trap somewhere else

free is an answer in 2 puzzles and a wrong tile in 7. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
