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 MAYOR, position 1, meets left column MEDIA, position 1: both need M.
  • Top row MAYOR, position 3, meets middle column YEAST, position 1: both need Y.
  • Top row MAYOR, position 5, meets right column RELIC, position 1: both need R.
  • Middle row DRAWL, position 1, meets left column MEDIA, position 3: both need D.
  • Middle row DRAWL, position 3, meets middle column YEAST, position 3: both need A.
  • Middle row DRAWL, position 5, meets right column RELIC, position 3: both need L.
  • Bottom row ANTIC, position 1, meets left column MEDIA, position 5: both need A.
  • Bottom row ANTIC, position 3, meets middle column YEAST, position 5: both need T.
  • Bottom row ANTIC, position 5, meets right column RELIC, position 5: both need C.

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