Compare the inside of NACRE
Ignore the already-proven N and E while measuring new information. The middle of NACRE contributes A, C, and R. 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.
NACRE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, C, and R must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
