Where overload turns up in the game
overload is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 overload is the trap
- clogverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is foul, in the sense "become or cause to become obstructed", so overload is there to be ruled out.
- refillverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is replenish, in the sense "fill something that had previously been emptied", and overload is one of the three tiles that lose.
- oppressionnoun, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is subjugation, in the sense "the act of subjugating by cruelty", and overload is one of the three tiles that lose.
