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 UNITY, position 1, meets left column UDDER, position 1: both need U.
  • Top row UNITY, position 3, meets middle column IGLOO, position 1: both need I.
  • Top row UNITY, position 5, meets right column YEAST, position 1: both need Y.
  • Middle row DELTA, position 1, meets left column UDDER, position 3: both need D.
  • Middle row DELTA, position 3, meets middle column IGLOO, position 3: both need L.
  • Middle row DELTA, position 5, meets right column YEAST, position 3: both need A.
  • Bottom row ROOST, position 1, meets left column UDDER, position 5: both need R.
  • Bottom row ROOST, position 3, meets middle column IGLOO, position 5: both need O.
  • Bottom row ROOST, position 5, meets right column YEAST, position 5: both need T.

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