The object here is to determine what words will complete the grids using word knowledge and letter patterns.

Example:



Find three letters that when placed in the squares will form two words. In this case you would be able to use S-N-T to form the words "sAInt" and "sLAnt". More combinations may be possible but what you use has to fit in with the rest of the grid.
