S and E lock the outside
Compare the inside of SAUCE
Ignore the already-proven S and E while measuring new information. The middle of SAUCE contributes A, U, and C. Compare those interior letters with the same positions in the other answers; one yellow or gray clue there can settle a 25-word shortlist quickly.
SAUCE fits both edges, but that only settles two squares. Its interior A, U, and C must still match the exact positions and letter quantities shown in your round.
