Information

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

Hard Mode Use FLIRT instead.

RAISE does not fit this page's clues. FLIRT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.87 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
