Repeated letters
Every match uses distinct letters. That makes OCHRE, OLIVE, and OMBRE especially easy to compare against a board where duplicate feedback has not appeared.
Reading order
OCHRE, OLIVE, OMBRE, OPINE, and OUPHE make up the entire result set, so there is no hidden second page of answers.
5 choices are few enough to verify one by one. Compare OCHRE, OMBRE and OUPHE with the same care, then cross out anything that contradicts the board.
H, I, and P appear across the open parts of the list more often than the other movable letters. OCHRE exposes 3 distinct letters outside the fixed clue: C, H, and R.
3 of the 5 matches use 3 vowels. OLIVE is one concrete example of that shape.
O and E lock the outside
Ignore the already-proven O and E while measuring new information. The middle of OCHRE contributes C, H, 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.
OCHRE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior C, H, and R must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.

Anchor O first and E last, then read only the interior of OCHRE. If C, H, and R conflict with a fixed, yellow or excluded tile, cross it out and move to the next candidate.
