Compare the inside of EAGLE
Ignore the already-proven E and E while measuring new information. The middle of EAGLE contributes A, G, and L. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 11-word shortlist quickly.
EAGLE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, G, and L must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
