Top-ranked splitter AALII

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 1.59 bits

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

Hard Mode Use VAULT instead.

AALII does not fit this page's clues. VAULT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.0 (1 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

No obvious one-slot trap. The possible answers do not form a three-word-or-larger family that differs in only one position.
