It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the candidates cleanly.

Hard Mode Use PEACE instead.

BELTS does not fit this page's clues. PEACE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.0 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: _RACE

BRACE, GRACE, TRACE differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BELTS tests the family more efficiently.
