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

Hard Mode Use FIELD instead.

AFFLY does not fit this page's clues. FIELD keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: _IELD

FIELD, WIELD, YIELD differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AFFLY tests the family more efficiently.
