Compare the inside of AEGIS
Ignore the already-proven A and S while measuring new information. The middle of AEGIS contributes E, G, and I. 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.
AEGIS fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior E, G, and I must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
