ALOIN keeps IN together and surrounds it with A, L, and O. Those 3 outside letters make the word useful for comparing where the pair can sit and what can accompany it.
Repeated letters
AGAIN, AMAIN, INNER, and INURN are among the repeated-letter choices. For a cleaner letter test, compare them with ALOIN, BEGIN, and BINAL.
Reading order
AGAIN, ALOIN, AMAIN, BEGIN, and BINAL open the list; TRAIN is the final entry alphabetically.
This set is small enough for a single careful pass: AGAIN opens it, INLET marks the midpoint and TRAIN closes it. Cross out conflicts as you go instead of rereading the whole list after every clue.
E, A, and R appear across the open parts of the list more often than the other movable letters. ALOIN exposes 3 distinct letters outside the fixed clue: A, L, and O.
31 of the 50 matches use 2 vowels. BEGIN is one concrete example of that shape.
IN travels as one pair
IN begins in the first, second, third, and fourth position across this list. Check which placements your yellow and green tiles still allow, then compare the outside letters. ALOIN adds A, L, and O around the pair, giving you a concrete arrangement to test against the board.
ALOIN proves that IN can appear together in a playable answer. Your own tiles still decide whether that placement and the surrounding A, L, and O remain possible.
