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 VALUE, position 1, meets left column VALID, position 1: both need V.
  • Top row VALUE, position 3, meets middle column LEAFY, position 1: both need L.
  • Top row VALUE, position 5, meets right column EATER, position 1: both need E.
  • Middle row LEAST, position 1, meets left column VALID, position 3: both need L.
  • Middle row LEAST, position 3, meets middle column LEAFY, position 3: both need A.
  • Middle row LEAST, position 5, meets right column EATER, position 3: both need T.
  • Bottom row DRYER, position 1, meets left column VALID, position 5: both need D.
  • Bottom row DRYER, position 3, meets middle column LEAFY, position 5: both need Y.
  • Bottom row DRYER, position 5, meets right column EATER, position 5: both need R.

The 21 tiles contain A × 4, D × 1, E × 5, F × 1, I × 1, L × 2, R × 2, S × 1, T × 1, U × 1, V × 1, 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.
