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 SKILL, position 1, meets left column STOMP, position 1: both need S.
  • Top row SKILL, position 3, meets middle column INEPT, position 1: both need I.
  • Top row SKILL, position 5, meets right column LEASH, position 1: both need L.
  • Middle row OMEGA, position 1, meets left column STOMP, position 3: both need O.
  • Middle row OMEGA, position 3, meets middle column INEPT, position 3: both need E.
  • Middle row OMEGA, position 5, meets right column LEASH, position 3: both need A.
  • Bottom row PITCH, position 1, meets left column STOMP, position 5: both need P.
  • Bottom row PITCH, position 3, meets middle column INEPT, position 5: both need T.
  • Bottom row PITCH, position 5, meets right column LEASH, position 5: both need H.

The 21 tiles contain A × 1, C × 1, E × 2, G × 1, H × 1, I × 2, K × 1, L × 2, M × 2, N × 1, O × 1, P × 2, S × 2, T × 2. 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.
