Refine this pattern

The top-ranked splitter is shown in the shortlist note below. Add a gray or yellow clue here to recalculate after the position changes.

Previously used by Wordle: MOOCH (February 13, 2026); MOOSE (March 1, 2023).

Top-ranked splitter AAHED

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 1.58 bits

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

Hard Mode Use MOODS instead.

AAHED does not fit this page's clues. MOODS 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.

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