A and T lock the outside
Compare the inside of ABOUT
Ignore the already-proven A and T while measuring new information. The middle of ABOUT contributes B, O, and U. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 24-word shortlist quickly.
ABOUT fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior B, O, and U must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
