Compare the inside of AECIA
Ignore the already-proven A and A while measuring new information. The middle of AECIA contributes E, C, and I. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 6-word shortlist quickly.
AECIA fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior E, C, and I must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
