Information

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

Hard Mode Use BLAND instead.

ABIDE does not fit this page's clues. BLAND keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: BL_ND

BLAND, BLEND, BLIND, BLOND differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABIDE tests the family more efficiently.
