2 vowels: 5
N and E lock the outside
Compare the inside of NAME
Ignore the already-proven N and E while measuring new information. The middle of NAME contributes A and M. 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.
NAME fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A and M must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
