Repeated letters
BELIE uses one letter more than once. For a guess with no duplicated tile, compare it with BARYE, BILGE, and BIRLE.
Reading order
BARYE, BELIE, BILGE, BIRLE, and BIRSE open the list; BUDGE is the final entry alphabetically.
This set is small enough for a single careful pass: BARYE opens it, BLAZE marks the midpoint and BUDGE closes it. Cross out conflicts as you go instead of rereading the whole list after every clue.
R, A, and L appear across the open parts of the list more often than the other movable letters. BARYE exposes 3 distinct letters outside the fixed clue: A, R, and Y.
14 of the 16 matches use 2 vowels. BARYE is one concrete example of that shape.
B and E lock the outside
Ignore the already-proven B and E while measuring new information. The middle of BARYE contributes A, R, and Y. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 16-word shortlist quickly.
BARYE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, R, and Y must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
