D closes every answer

Hold D at the end and work backward through the evidence. Before that known tile, ACNED tests A, C, N, and E without a duplicate. Check those letters against the earliest open squares first, because that is where similar endings usually part company.
The final D earns ACNED a place on this page. The earlier letters still need to satisfy your greens, yellows and exclusions before the word deserves a turn.
