Crosspatch Puzzle

What is a cross patch puzzle? A crosspatch puzzle looks like a regular crossword puzzle in terms of the blank grid and words, but the words are in list form and not in the form of clues. To solve the puzzle the words need to be filled into the grid just like a normal crossword puzzle. The challenge is to figure out which word to start with. Try starting with words with either the fewest number of letters or the greatest number of letters.
