Where imaginary turns up in the game
imaginary 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where imaginary is the trap
- apparentadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is plain, in the sense "clearly revealed to the mind or the senses or judgment", and imaginary is on the board beside it.
- rationaladjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is intellectual, in the sense "of or associated with or requiring the use of the mind", so imaginary is there to be ruled out.
- transcendentaladjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is otherworldly, in the sense "existing outside of or not in accordance with nature", with imaginary sitting one tile away.

imaginary is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 3. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
