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

Hard Mode Use BROWN instead.

SCARF does not fit this page's clues. BROWN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.4 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _ROWN

BROWN, CROWN, DROWN, FROWN, GROWN differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; SCARF tests the family more efficiently.
