Pattern size
6 words fit both edges
3 tiles remain unsettled. ACNED fills them with C, N, and E, so it is a useful word to compare with the exact letters your board has kept or rejected.
6 real matches in Wurdella
5-Letter Words Starting With A and Ending In D
A at the front and D at the end leave 6 complete answers, running alphabetically from ACNED to AVOID. Only the 3 interior tiles can change from one result to the next.
Repeated letters
No answer spends a tile twice
Every match uses distinct letters. That makes ACNED, ACRID, and ALCID especially easy to compare against a board where duplicate feedback has not appeared.
Reading order

A and D lock the outside
Compare the inside of ACNED
Ignore the already-proven A and D while measuring new information. The middle of ACNED contributes C, N, and E. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 6-word shortlist quickly.
ACNED fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior C, N, and E must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
