Where remember turns up in the game

remember 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 one other puzzle, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzle where remember is the trap

understandverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is see, in the sense "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally", so remember is there to be ruled out.

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