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

Hard Mode Use PALMY instead.

ABUSE does not fit this page's clues. PALMY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.93 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: PLUM_

PLUMB, PLUME, PLUMP differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABUSE tests the family more efficiently.
