Compare the inside of ABHOR
Ignore the already-proven A and R while measuring new information. The middle of ABHOR contributes B, H, and O. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 9-word shortlist quickly.
ABHOR fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior B, H, and O must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
