On the Subject of Tether

I have tried to leave, but they still will not let me go.

The module consists of a 6 × 5 chessboard with a 5-letter word on the top and bottom of the chessboard. The black tiles normally seen on a chess board have been replaced with orange.

To solve the module, you must submit four 5-letter words between the top and bottom words shown that follow the criteria:

• The last 3 letters of a word above must be equal to the first 3 letters of the word in a selected position.
• The first 3 letters of a word below must be equal to the last 3 letters of the word in a selected position.
• The word must be a valid word on the given “Word Bank”.
• Each word must be unique.

Use your keyboard to type a letter on a tile that does not have a letter. The chessboard will be filled in this way in reading order. You can erase the previous letter by pressing the Backspace key.

If the chessboard is completely filled, you can press the Enter key to submit your answer. If all of the words you have submitted follow the criteria, the module will solve. If not, the module will strike.
