Top-ranked splitter AILED

Average remaining: 1.4
Worst branch: 2
Information: 3.51 bits

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

Hard Mode Use MINOR instead.

AILED does not fit this page's clues. MINOR keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.33 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: _INER

DINER, FINER, LINER, MINER differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AILED tests the family more efficiently.
