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