Top-ranked splitter ABUTS

Average remaining: 1.0
Worst branch: 1
Information: 3.46 bits

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

Hard Mode Use BRASH instead.

ABUTS does not fit this page's clues. BRASH keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.73 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: _RASH

BRASH, CRASH, TRASH differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABUTS tests the family more efficiently.
