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

Hard Mode Use PEACH instead.

BERTH does not fit this page's clues. PEACH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.71 (4 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _EACH

BEACH, LEACH, PEACH, REACH, TEACH differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BERTH tests the family more efficiently.
