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

Hard Mode AAHED keeps every stated clue.

It is legal under the clues represented on this page. If you also have yellow-position information, check that extra detail in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.

Compare two plays

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 3 possible answers.
