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

Hard Mode Use GRADE instead.

DRIPT does not fit this page's clues. GRADE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 3.22 (5 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: GRA_E

GRACE, GRADE, GRAPE, GRATE, GRAVE, GRAZE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; DRIPT tests the family more efficiently.
