Information

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

Hard Mode Use STORE instead.

AZYME does not fit this page's clues. STORE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.5 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: STOR_

STORE, STORK, STORM, STORY differ only in the fifth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AZYME tests the family more efficiently.
