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