Information

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

Hard Mode Use MOMMA instead.

ABOMA does not fit this page's clues. MOMMA keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: M_MMY

MAMMY, MOMMY, MUMMY differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABOMA tests the family more efficiently.
