Where outside turns up in the game

outside 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 one other puzzle, where the answer is a different word entirely.

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