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

Hard Mode Use CREAM instead.

ACERS does not fit this page's clues. CREAM keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.5 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Where these letters usually land
