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 TEDDY, position 1, meets left column TEPID, position 1: both need T.
  • Top row TEDDY, position 3, meets middle column DRILL, position 1: both need D.
  • Top row TEDDY, position 5, meets right column YUMMY, position 1: both need Y.
  • Middle row PRISM, position 1, meets left column TEPID, position 3: both need P.
  • Middle row PRISM, position 3, meets middle column DRILL, position 3: both need I.
  • Middle row PRISM, position 5, meets right column YUMMY, position 3: both need M.
  • Bottom row DELAY, position 1, meets left column TEPID, position 5: both need D.
  • Bottom row DELAY, position 3, meets middle column DRILL, position 5: both need L.
  • Bottom row DELAY, position 5, meets right column YUMMY, position 5: both need Y.

The 21 tiles contain A × 1, D × 3, E × 3, I × 2, L × 2, M × 2, P × 1, R × 2, S × 1, T × 1, U × 1, Y × 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.
