Information
2.0 bits

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

Hard Mode Use SHEEN instead.

ANTAR does not fit this page's clues. SHEEN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: SHEE_

SHEEN, SHEEP, SHEER, SHEET differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ANTAR tests the family more efficiently.
