If INWARD is 2, then last is R:

ANCHOR has 1, which is thus far unidentified. A can be eliminated due to ARIARY=2 with ***AR* known. C can be eliminated due to ESCAPE=1 with ***A** known. HO can be eliminated due to ***AR* known. This leaves *N***R as the only two letters that might be the source of the 1. if INWARD is 2 with ***AR* known, then *N**** must be wrong, leaving *****R as correct from ANCHOR.

To confirm this:

WASTER

if WASTER=0, then *N**** is correct as all other letters in WASTER are known wrong: WA**** fr. WALNUT=0; **S*** fr. RESCUE=0; ***TE* from known ***AR*.

Umm. What does disproving the letters in WASTER have to do with N being 2nd?

ANCHOR can only have either the N or the R as the 1 correct. WASTER=0 means it can't be the R, so must be the N.
