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

Hard Mode Use LOSER instead.

ROMAL does not fit this page's clues. LOSER keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.86 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: _ISER

MISER, RISER, WISER differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; ROMAL tests the family more efficiently.
