Where load turns up in the game
load is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across two difficulty tiers. It also sits on the board as one of the three wrong tiles in six other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
4 of the 6 puzzles where load is the trap
- sendverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is post, in the sense "cause to be directed or transmitted to another place", and load is one of the three tiles that lose.
- communicateverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is convey, in the sense "transfer to another", with load sitting one tile away.
- neighborhoodnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is region, in the sense "the approximate amount of something (usually used prepositionally as in 'in the region of')", and load is on the board beside it.
- productionnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is yield, in the sense "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)", so load is there to be ruled out.
