Information

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

Hard Mode Use NEEDY instead.

AIRNS does not fit this page's clues. NEEDY keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _EEDY

NEEDY, REEDY, SEEDY, WEEDY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AIRNS tests the family more efficiently.
