What's that? Another word puzzle?! Why yes, three in a row!

To put that into perspective (read: stats time with spreadsheet nerd bakpao), this is only our 9th ever word puzzle. Loop puzzles on the other hand have featured over 300 times, but we've never done more than 4 in a row. Our second most common category, Region Division, has featured 180 times but never more than twice in a row! Maybe it's finally time for that #daily-word-puzzles channel that's been pitched to us a couple of times...

Today's GAPP is a Hidden Words! This is another genre from the upcoming Puzzle Ramayan round, Casual and Word, starting later today. Why not give it a try?

Rules: Place the given words into the grid in straight lines of consecutive cells going from left to right or top to bottom. Words may not touch each other, not even diagonally. A letter outside the grid must appear somewhere in the corresponding row or column.

Yesterday's interface note applies today as well: Letters must be CAPITALIZED for the answer check to work. To mark unused cells, you can use any character that is not A-Z or 0-9. (A dash - would work, for example)
