You yanked a word and want to use it to replace more than one other word. The naive approach of selecting each of these other words and then hitting p doesn't really work though, does it?
This is because the first p yanks the highlighted word at the same time, replacing the original word in the register.
The solution is to paste from the 0th register directly:
"0p
That you can do however many times you like.
