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

Hard Mode Use MAVIN instead.

CAMIS does not fit this page's clues. MAVIN keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 2.14 (3 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: _AVEN

HAVEN, MAVEN, RAVEN differ only in the first position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; CAMIS tests the family more efficiently.
