Check the nine shared letters

The three across words and three down words share nine tiles. An across answer needs to agree with each down answer at its first, third and fifth letters.

  • Top row FLUID, position 1, meets left column FRILL, position 1: both need F.
  • Top row FLUID, position 3, meets middle column UPSET, position 1: both need U.
  • Top row FLUID, position 5, meets right column DETOX, position 1: both need D.
  • Middle row INSET, position 1, meets left column FRILL, position 3: both need I.
  • Middle row INSET, position 3, meets middle column UPSET, position 3: both need S.
  • Middle row INSET, position 5, meets right column DETOX, position 3: both need T.
  • Bottom row LATEX, position 1, meets left column FRILL, position 5: both need L.
  • Bottom row LATEX, position 3, meets middle column UPSET, position 5: both need T.
  • Bottom row LATEX, position 5, meets right column DETOX, position 5: both need X.

The 21 tiles contain A × 1, D × 1, E × 4, F × 1, I × 2, L × 3, N × 1, O × 1, P × 1, R × 1, S × 1, T × 2, U × 1, X × 1. Count each shared tile once when checking whether an entered board can reach this solution.

These checks follow from the six verified answer words. A swap sequence depends on the letters and colours currently on your own board; enter those in the Waffle solver.
