It's not a certain assumption.
I ordered the words from left to right, top to bottom (ie: x coordinate first, y coordinate second) based on how they fit in the crossword. To avoid said assumption to be done ;) thought no one would think about it, happy to see someone did!
But you gotta tell us for sure, the order of the words in the sentence is the same as the one we get by tapping tab right? i.e. :
  1. DOWN 3 letters
  2. DOWN 7 letters
  3. ACROSS 4 letters
  4. ACROSS 5 letters
  5. DOWN 3 letters

I guess we need to start with this list and choose a word, like whether to go with age or ace or fee.... https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/ending-with/3-letter-words-e.html
