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

Hard Mode Use PRIME instead.

ABODE does not fit this page's clues. PRIME 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: PRIM_

PRIME, PRIMO, PRIMP differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABODE tests the family more efficiently.
