I shall give you an example
The answer to 6a parses as "Analysis" - but the answer to 3d is "Tonic"
The 7th letter of analysis is an "I" but this has to go in the grid where the T of Tonic is, therefore there is a "clash". You now have to decide whether to put an I or a T there. Unfortunately for you both "analysts" and "ionic" are words and so you can't tell that way. When you solve 16/17 it becomes obvious what "the clash" is.
In this one example the answers are "analysts" and "tonic"
Sorry 8d is "tonic" - can't read the numbers!

Thanks jj, I understand now.
Rayh - just so you are not confused, this is a question I asked earlier

https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1684973.html

The words actually input into the grid for these clues are not Iain, Faitors or Tiro (the crossers clash and the crossers letters have precedence for these three)
