Where performance turns up in the game
performance 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where performance is the trap
- actionnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is activity, in the sense "a process existing in or produced by nature (rather than by the intent of human beings)", and performance is one of the three tiles that lose.
- productionnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is yield, in the sense "the quantity of something (as a commodity) that is created (usually within a given period of time)", so performance is there to be ruled out.
- savingnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is economy, in the sense "an act of economizing", and performance is one of the three tiles that lose.

performance is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 3. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
