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

Hard Mode Use CHICK instead.

HOURI does not fit this page's clues. CHICK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.55 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: CL_CK

CLACK, CLICK, CLOCK, CLUCK differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; HOURI tests the family more efficiently.
