It fits the clues and can win immediately, while still splitting the alternatives well.

Hard Mode POINT keeps every stated clue.

It is legal under the clues represented on this page. If you also have yellow-position information, check that extra detail 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.
