Information

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

Hard Mode Use BEGAN instead.

BALOI does not fit this page's clues. BEGAN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.5 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: BEG_N

BEGAN, BEGIN, BEGUN differ only in the fourth position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; BALOI tests the family more efficiently.
