AI travels as one pair
Move AI as a pair, not as two loose tiles
AI begins in the first, second, third, and fourth position across this list. Check which placements your yellow and green tiles still allow, then compare the outside letters. AISLE adds S, L, and E around the pair, giving you a concrete arrangement to test against the board.
AISLE proves that AI can appear together in a playable answer. Your own tiles still decide whether that placement and the surrounding S, L, and E remain possible.
