Once again, this puzzle was inspired by Eric Berlin's weekly Puzzlesnacks. I wanted to try making something comparable, and this was an interesting challenge to produce. Enjoy!

In each puzzle below, the 15 bigrams can be placed into the grid to form words reading across and down. Because it’s a 5x5 grid, 10 spaces will be left blank. Answers may have blank spaces before or after them, or might even skip spaces in the middle. You’ll have to figure out where to position the bigrams in order to form all of the words in the grid. All solution words will be 4, 6 or 8 letters long. For the Certitude solution checker, concatenate the letters that appear in the diagonals of each puzzle, reading from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner, ignoring any blank spaces.
