Information

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

Hard Mode Use LYMPH instead.

AFOUL does not fit this page's clues. LYMPH 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.

Compare two plays

Choose any two words from this list. The figures use the same 4 possible answers.

Where these letters usually land

The MPH suffix fixes these letters in positions 3, 4 and 5; the figures below show whether extra copies appear elsewhere.
