PUZZLE #197: Compound Crosswords 3

PUZZLE #197
COMPOUND CROSSWORDS 3

Fit the words hinted at by the clues into the nine grids below so that the two words in each grid combine to create a two-word phrase. There may be multiple possibilities for these phrases, but there's only one way that all the words will fit in all of the grids.

Once each grid is filled out, the pink letters in each grid will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a compound word.


CLUES
* Airheaded heiress from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
* _____ Blanket Bingo
* Card game with seats named after compass directions
* Cheers actress Shelley
* Edible ice cream container
* Gold's and Planet Fitness, for two
* Largemouth fish
* Massive _____ (influential trip hop group)
* Melted ice

* Took a photo of
* Trailer Park _____ (long-running Canadian TV show)
* Type of button that turns on a computer
* Word in the title of a Kipling book about Mowgli
* Write one's name on the dotted line

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
