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 GRASP, position 1, meets left column GROUP, position 1: both need G.
  • Top row GRASP, position 3, meets middle column APHID, position 1: both need A.
  • Top row GRASP, position 5, meets right column PARRY, position 1: both need P.
  • Middle row OTHER, position 1, meets left column GROUP, position 3: both need O.
  • Middle row OTHER, position 3, meets middle column APHID, position 3: both need H.
  • Middle row OTHER, position 5, meets right column PARRY, position 3: both need R.
  • Bottom row PUDGY, position 1, meets left column GROUP, position 5: both need P.
  • Bottom row PUDGY, position 3, meets middle column APHID, position 5: both need D.
  • Bottom row PUDGY, position 5, meets right column PARRY, position 5: both need Y.

The 21 tiles contain A × 2, D × 1, E × 1, G × 2, H × 1, I × 1, O × 1, P × 3, R × 4, S × 1, T × 1, U × 2, Y × 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.
