The 3 synonyms for sight

kennoun, in the sense "the range of vision"
spyverb, in the sense "catch sight of"

Recorded from the other side of the pair

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

viewview is a noun in the sense "the act of looking or seeing or observing"

Two directions, one standard: two audited under sight and one under the partner word. Nothing here was expanded out of a thesaurus.

Where sight turns up in the game

sight is the word under test in two puzzles, spread across Tier 1, Foothills. 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 sight is the trap

hearingnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is audition, in the sense "the ability to hear", so sight is there to be ruled out.
plentynoun, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is plenitude, in the sense "a full supply", with sight sitting one tile away.

Play sight

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