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