Information

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

Hard Mode Use BUMPY instead.

ABJAD does not fit this page's clues. BUMPY 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: _UMPY

BUMPY, DUMPY, JUMPY, LUMPY differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ABJAD tests the family more efficiently.
