Puzzle #4: Word Squares

PUZZLE #4
WORD SQUARES

Examples of Word Squares from 3x3 to 8x8, from Wikipedia


Word squares have words in them that can be read both across and down. I've provided grids for two of them below, one containing 4-letter words, and the other containing 5-letter words. Use the clues to figure out the words that go in each grid, but to make things harder, both sets of clues for both grids are mixed up together and are in no particular order! And the first clue I've provided is a "Cryptic Clue", which is a clue that would be right at home in a Cryptic Crossword! The FINAL ANSWER consists of two related words, one hidden in each completed grid, that aren't read across or down.

  • [Cryptic Clue] Rang up a former Slipknot guitarist
  • Slang for "abhorrer" popularized by a 3LW song
  • Final single off of Unkle's Never, Never, Land
  • Charlie Chaplin's wife or granddaughter
  • Liquid-Plumr competitor
  • "Tri" and "Bio" suffix
  • Heart chambers
  • Three feet
  • Silverbeet
Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is (or you just need help and don't want to look up the answers), send me an e-mail at either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com, and you can also use those e-mail addresses to give me the answer to last week's puzzle, which you can visit here (or here for the easier version). If you want a version you can print out, head below the break for just that!
