Where soak turns up in the game
soak is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 4, High Camp. 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 soak is the trap
- dipverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is plunge, in the sense "immerse briefly into a liquid so as to wet, coat, or saturate", so soak is there to be ruled out.
- pluckverb, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is tweak, in the sense "pull or pull out sharply", so soak is there to be ruled out.
- waterverb, Tier 4, High Camp. The answer there is irrigate, in the sense "supply with water, as with channels or ditches or streams", with soak sitting one tile away.
