Today’s solve for #1867 was a bit of a rollercoaster. We started with a strong opening, but the entropy-based solver had to work through several layers of uncertainty to nail down the placement of the ‘L’ and ‘U’.

The path to ‘FLUME’ involved systematically eliminating common vowel combinations. By the final guess, the remaining candidates were narrowed down significantly, allowing the solver to confidently strike the target.
