Information

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

Hard Mode Use STOWP instead.

CRWTH does not fit this page's clues. STOWP keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.27 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Trap warning: S_OOP

SCOOP, SLOOP, SNOOP, STOOP, SWOOP differ only in the second position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CRWTH tests the family more efficiently.
