Information

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

Hard Mode Use TRICE instead.

ASPIC does not fit this page's clues. TRICE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.56 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: TRI_E

TRIBE, TRICE, TRIPE, TRITE differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ASPIC tests the family more efficiently.
