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

Hard Mode Use DRIES instead.

TYLER does not fit this page's clues. DRIES keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.23 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.
