- mentorverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is guide, in the sense "to advise or train a less experienced person", with recruit sitting one tile away.
- moldverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is shape, in the sense "to shape or form character or material into a particular form", and recruit is on the board beside it.
