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

Hard Mode Use BLEAH instead.

ACENE does not fit this page's clues. BLEAH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.29 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: BE_CH

BEACH, BEECH, BELCH, BENCH differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACENE tests the family more efficiently.
