Where unload turns up in the game

unload 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 unload is the trap

stowverb, Tier 1, Foothills. The answer there is store, in the sense "to put something away neatly in its proper storage place", and unload is on the board beside it.
convertverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is change, in the sense "exchange or replace with another, usually of the same kind or category", and unload is on the board beside it.
dischargeverb, Tier 2, Treeline. The answer there is complete, in the sense "complete or carry out", so unload is there to be ruled out.

Play unload

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

Every word is an answer somewhere and a trap somewhere else

unload is an answer in 1 puzzle and a wrong tile in 3. That is how the bank is built, and it is why guessing by vibe stops working around tier three.
