Where thick turns up in the game

The puzzles where thick is the trap
- shakingnoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is trembling, in the sense "a shaky motion", and thick is one of the three tiles that lose.
- chokingnoun, Tier 3, Ridgeline. The answer there is strangulation, in the sense "the act of suffocating (someone) by constricting the windpipe", and thick is on the board beside it.
- deepadjective, Tier 5, Summit. The answer there is abstruse, in the sense "difficult to penetrate", so thick is there to be ruled out.
