The 4 synonyms for plot

Interchangeable with plot, one per sense

Audited under plot's own entry, so the meaning quoted is the one plot carries in that sense.

  • gamenoun, in the sense "a secret scheme to do something (especially something underhand or illegal)"
  • patchnoun, in the sense "a small area of ground covered by specific vegetation"

Recorded from the other side of the pair

These entries were written under the other word and name plot as the true synonym, so the sense quoted is theirs.

  • hatchhatch is a verb in the sense "to devise a plan, especially secretly"
  • platplat is a verb in the sense "make a plot of"

two of these come from plot's own entries in the bank, and two were audited from the other word's side of the pair. Both directions were read by a human, and only the sense quoted differs.

  • playbook
Sense 2 of 2nounTier 2, TreelinePlaces

a small area of ground covered by specific vegetation

A bean plot.

The sentence the game shows, and the only thing that settles which meaning is meant.

The true synonym

patch

Same sentence, swapped: A bean patch.

Close but different

  • game
  • grounds
  • sector

Where plot turns up in the game

plot is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 2, Treeline. 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 plot is the trap

  • patchverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is piece, in the sense "to join or unite the pieces of", with plot sitting one tile away.
  • gamenoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is biz, in the sense "your occupation or line of work", so plot is there to be ruled out.

Play plot

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