Where ledger turns up in the game

ledger is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 2, Treeline. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzles where ledger is the trap

satchelnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is bag, in the sense "a bag, typically worn over one shoulder, for carrying books or belongings", so ledger is there to be ruled out.
