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

Hard Mode Use BRAWL instead.

BATCH does not fit this page's clues. BRAWL keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.2 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _RAWL

BRAWL, CRAWL, DRAWL, TRAWL differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BATCH tests the family more efficiently.
