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

Hard Mode Use CRAMP instead.

CHARM does not fit this page's clues. CRAMP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.36 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: S_AMP

SCAMP, STAMP, SWAMP differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CHARM tests the family more efficiently.
