L closes every answer
Read BOIL from right to left
Hold L at the end and work backward through the evidence. Before that known tile, BOIL tests B, O, and I without a duplicate. Check those letters against the earliest open squares first, because that is where similar endings usually part company.
The final L earns BOIL a place on this page. The earlier letters still need to satisfy your greens, yellows and exclusions before the word deserves a turn.
