Information

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

Hard Mode Use FORCE instead.

ACETA does not fit this page's clues. FORCE 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: FOR_E

FORCE, FORGE, FORTE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ACETA tests the family more efficiently.
