Compare the inside of FOIL
Ignore the already-proven F and L while measuring new information. The middle of FOIL contributes O and I. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 5-word shortlist quickly.
FOIL fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior O and I must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
