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

Hard Mode Use EIGHT instead.

FLESH does not fit this page's clues. EIGHT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 6.27 (8 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _IGHT

EIGHT, FIGHT, LIGHT, MIGHT, NIGHT, RIGHT, SIGHT, TIGHT, WIGHT differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; FLESH tests the family more efficiently.
