Information

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

Hard Mode Use LEASE instead.

ABAHT does not fit this page's clues. LEASE 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: LEAS_

LEASE, LEASH, LEAST differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABAHT tests the family more efficiently.
