Compare the inside of EARLY
Ignore the already-proven E and Y while measuring new information. The middle of EARLY contributes A, R, and L. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 10-word shortlist quickly.
EARLY fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, R, and L must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
