Information
1.0 bits

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

Hard Mode Use AMIGA instead.

AALII does not fit this page's clues. AMIGA 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.

Compare two plays

Choose any two plays. The figures use the same 2 possible answers.
