Information

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

Hard Mode Use REBEL instead.

ABAMP does not fit this page's clues. REBEL 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: RE_EL

REBEL, REPEL, REVEL differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABAMP tests the family more efficiently.
