Where sketch turns up in the game

sketch 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 three other puzzles, where the answer is a different word entirely.

The puzzles where sketch is the trap

jokenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is laugh, in the sense "a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter", so sketch is there to be ruled out.
skeletonnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is frame, in the sense "the internal supporting structure that gives an artifact its shape", so sketch is there to be ruled out.
bitenoun, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is pungency, in the sense "wit having a sharp and caustic quality", and sketch is one of the three tiles that lose.

Play sketch

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

The same bank, read from both sides

sketch is an answer in 1 puzzle 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.
