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

Hard Mode Use BEGET instead.

AARGH does not fit this page's clues. BEGET keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: BE_ET

BEGET, BERET, BESET differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AARGH tests the family more efficiently.
