The third square does not move
Keep the third square honest
Do not slide C into another position just to make a familiar word fit. In ARCH, the fixed tile stays third while A, R, and H occupy the open squares. Compare those letters with the board first; then use the position leaders to break ties among the survivors.
ARCH keeps C third, but the other 3 letters still need permission from your board. A single misplaced green or reused gray is enough to rule it out.
