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 WHEAT, position 1, meets left column WIDEN, position 1: both need W.
  • Top row WHEAT, position 3, meets middle column ERUPT, position 1: both need E.
  • Top row WHEAT, position 5, meets right column TEETH, position 1: both need T.
  • Middle row DEUCE, position 1, meets left column WIDEN, position 3: both need D.
  • Middle row DEUCE, position 3, meets middle column ERUPT, position 3: both need U.
  • Middle row DEUCE, position 5, meets right column TEETH, position 3: both need E.
  • Bottom row NOTCH, position 1, meets left column WIDEN, position 5: both need N.
  • Bottom row NOTCH, position 3, meets middle column ERUPT, position 5: both need T.
  • Bottom row NOTCH, position 5, meets right column TEETH, position 5: both need H.

The 21 tiles contain A × 1, C × 2, D × 1, E × 5, H × 2, I × 1, N × 1, O × 1, P × 1, R × 1, T × 3, U × 1, W × 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.
