Information

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

Hard Mode Use THANK instead.

ABRIN does not fit this page's clues. THANK keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.25 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: TR_CK

TRACK, TRICK, TRUCK differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABRIN tests the family more efficiently.
