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

Hard Mode Use FLACK instead.

ANCLE does not fit this page's clues. FLACK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.73 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: FL_CK

FLACK, FLECK, FLICK, FLOCK differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ANCLE tests the family more efficiently.
