Where result turns up in the game
result 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 result is the trap
- answernoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is response, in the sense "a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation", with result sitting one tile away.
- effectnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is impression, in the sense "an outward appearance", and result is one of the three tiles that lose.
- victorynoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is triumph, in the sense "a successful ending of a struggle or contest", so result is there to be ruled out.

The same bank, read from both sides
result 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.
