Where surf turns up in the game

surf is the word under test in one puzzle, at Tier 3, Ridgeline. It is never used as a wrong tile elsewhere in the bank, so every board it appears on is a board it can win.

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