Information

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

Hard Mode Use CRUMP instead.

HILUM does not fit this page's clues. CRUMP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.77 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: CR_MP

CRAMP, CRIMP, CRUMP differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; HILUM tests the family more efficiently.
