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

Hard Mode Use COACH instead.

AGONS does not fit this page's clues. COACH 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: CO_CH

COACH, CONCH, COUCH differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AGONS tests the family more efficiently.
