Top-ranked splitter BLART

Average remaining: 1.29
Worst branch: 2
Information: 3.52 bits

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

Hard Mode Use LEACH instead.

BLART does not fit this page's clues. LEACH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 4.14 (6 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; BLART tests the family more efficiently.
