Where plastic turns up in the game
plastic 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.
The puzzles where plastic is the trap
- averageadjective, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is fair, in the sense "lacking exceptional quality or ability", with plastic sitting one tile away.
- averageadjective, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is medium, in the sense "around the middle of a scale of evaluation", with plastic sitting one tile away.
- passwordnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is word, in the sense "a secret word or phrase known only to a restricted group", so plastic is there to be ruled out.

plastic is an answer in 2 puzzles 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.
