The second square does not move
Keep the second square honest
Do not slide S into another position just to make a familiar word fit. In ASHEN, the fixed tile stays second while A, H, E, and N occupy the open squares. Compare those letters with the board first; then use the position leaders to break ties among the survivors.
ASHEN keeps S second, but the other 4 letters still need permission from your board. A single misplaced green or reused gray is enough to rule it out.
