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

Hard Mode Use JOINT instead.

FUJIS does not fit this page's clues. JOINT keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.0 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _OIST

FOIST, HOIST, JOIST, MOIST differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; FUJIS tests the family more efficiently.
