Where mock turns up in the game
mock 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 mock is the trap
- mimicverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is imitate, in the sense "to imitate someone's actions, speech, or manner", so mock is there to be ruled out.
- shunverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is avoid, in the sense "to deliberately avoid or keep away from someone", and mock is one of the three tiles that lose.
- identicaladjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is very, in the sense "being the exact same one", with mock sitting one tile away.
