Blackout Scrabble

LIBRARY

Fill in the listed words into the grid so that they can be read from left-right or top-bottom. Different words have to be separated by at least one black cell. No unlisted words (of two or more letters) may be formed. All A’s have been given so no more A’s can be written into the grid. Additionally, all black cells are given but they are given as A’s. In other words, you can only shade in only-existing A’s to place a black cell.
