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

Hard Mode Use HARDY instead.

APERS does not fit this page's clues. HARDY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.8 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: HAR_Y

HARDY, HARPY, HARRY differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; APERS tests the family more efficiently.
