Where material turns up in the game
material 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 four other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where material is the trap
- centraladjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is key, in the sense "serving as an essential component", and material is on the board beside it.
- actualadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is existent, in the sense "presently existing in fact and not merely potential or possible", with material sitting one tile away.
- physicaladjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is forcible, in the sense "impelled by physical force especially against resistance", and material is one of the three tiles that lose.
- realadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is existent, in the sense "being or occurring in fact or actuality", so material is there to be ruled out.

material is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 4. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
