Puzzle 522: Numeral Crossing 9

Now that I've finished writing the puzzles I've been paid to write, I can get back to puzzles I'm not being paid to write!

Monday Mutant 100: Numeral Crossing (jumping crossword)

In this Numeral Crossing puzzle, you are to place letters of the English alphabet, rather than digits, in the white cells such that each of the words listed below the grid (excluding spaces, punctuation, and any other symbols besides letters of the English alphabet) appears as an entry within the grid. Additionally, some white cells must be left blank; no two empty white cells may share an edge. The words are sorted by their actual length in the grid (including empty spaces).
I bet you were expecting something much more interesting, involving numbers. Nope. Interesting puzzles with numbers in them are motris's schtick, not mine.

Happy Monday, everybody.

Rules -- Numeral Crossing

I do not know the origin of this type of puzzle. It's just been around for a long time. Nikoli calls it Nansuke.


1. Place a single digit in each white cell of the grid.
2. A horizontal or vertical group of two or more consecutive white cells, bounded on both sides by black cells or the edge of the grid, is called an entry. Every entry, reading from left to right or from top to bottom, must be one of the numbers listed below the grid. Every number listed below the grid must appear as exactly one entry.
