Why BACK is worth comparing
Keep B anchored at the front and compare the remaining tiles, not the whole word. BACK checks 3 different follow-up letters—A, C, and K—so any gray among them removes that word immediately and may clear several neighbors from the list too.
BACK belongs here because it starts with B; that alone does not make it legal on your current board. Submit it only when A, C, and K also agree with the feedback you have already earned.
