- topnoun, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is cover, in the sense "covering for a hole (especially a hole in the top of a container)", and tip is on the board beside it.
- gravenoun, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is tomb, in the sense "a place for the burial of a corpse (especially beneath the ground and marked by a tombstone)", and tip is one of the three tiles that lose.
