Information

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

Hard Mode Use STORE instead.

NORTH does not fit this page's clues. STORE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 5.11 (7 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: S_ORE

SCORE, SHORE, SNORE, SPORE, STORE, SWORE differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; NORTH tests the family more efficiently.

Compare two plays

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 18 possible answers.
