Where pole turns up in the game
pole is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 3, Ridgeline. 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 pole is the trap
- destinationnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is finish, in the sense "the place designated as the end (as of a race or journey)", and pole is one of the three tiles that lose.
- shoreverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is prop, in the sense "support by placing against something solid or rigid", so pole is there to be ruled out.
