Compare the inside of FABLE
Ignore the already-proven F and E while measuring new information. The middle of FABLE contributes A, B, and L. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 16-word shortlist quickly.
FABLE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, B, and L must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
