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