Believe it or not, this is not the first Sudoku and friends Puzzle Grand Prix-themed Meandering Words in GAPP. But as the words announce, the first round is indeed starting soon, and promises to be a varied and fun set of puzzles, albeit at a somewhat higher difficulty level than the LMI Puzzle Ramayan. For all the puzzle thrill seekers who are looking for a challenge.

Unfortunately no puns on meandering can be made this time.

Rules: Place a letter into each cell. The letters in a region must form an orthogonally connected chain of letters spelling out one of the words given outside the grid. Each given word is used exactly once. Two instances of the same letter may not appear in adjacent cells, not even diagonally. Shaded cells (if given) indicate the first letter of the word in a region.

Here's the previous occurrence of this genre in GAPP:
