Compare the inside of RAISE
Ignore the already-proven R and E while measuring new information. The middle of RAISE contributes A, I, and S. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 12-word shortlist quickly.
RAISE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, I, and S must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
