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

Hard Mode Use BLOOD instead.

ALKYD does not fit this page's clues. BLOOD keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.4 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: BROO_

BROOD, BROOK, BROOM differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ALKYD tests the family more efficiently.
