Where sponsor turns up in the game

sponsor is the word under test in one puzzle, at 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 sponsor is the trap

attendeenoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is participant, in the sense "a person who is present at an event", and sponsor is one of the three tiles that lose.
galanoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is celebration, in the sense "a festive public celebration or entertainment", so sponsor is there to be ruled out.
