Where motionless turns up in the game

motionless 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 two other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzles where motionless is the trap

staticadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is stable, in the sense "showing little if any change", so motionless is there to be ruled out.
staticadjective, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is electrostatic, in the sense "concerned with or producing or caused by static electricity", so motionless is there to be ruled out.

Play motionless

The bank on this page is the bank the game plays from, so motionless reaches you as a board rather than a definition: the sentence first, four tiles, and the meaning after you choose.

One vocabulary, two jobs

motionless is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 2. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
