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 DEMON, position 1, meets left column DEATH, position 1: both need D.
  • Top row DEMON, position 3, meets middle column METER, position 1: both need M.
  • Top row DEMON, position 5, meets right column NICHE, position 1: both need N.
  • Middle row ATTIC, position 1, meets left column DEATH, position 3: both need A.
  • Middle row ATTIC, position 3, meets middle column METER, position 3: both need T.
  • Middle row ATTIC, position 5, meets right column NICHE, position 3: both need C.
  • Bottom row HORDE, position 1, meets left column DEATH, position 5: both need H.
  • Bottom row HORDE, position 3, meets middle column METER, position 5: both need R.
  • Bottom row HORDE, position 5, meets right column NICHE, position 5: both need E.

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