The fourth square does not move
Keep the fourth square honest
Do not slide E into another position just to make a familiar word fit. In ACNED, the fixed tile stays fourth while A, C, N, and D occupy the open squares. Compare those letters with the board first; then use the position leaders to break ties among the survivors.
ACNED keeps E fourth, but the other 4 letters still need permission from your board. A single misplaced green or reused gray is enough to rule it out.
