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

Hard Mode Use APORT instead.

ADHAN does not fit this page's clues. APORT 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.

Tight family: S_ORT

SHORT, SNORT, SPORT differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ADHAN tests the family more efficiently.
