And obviously it will fail…on seeing their algo they haven’t covered the case where length of word is smaller then the total empty space…because 2 words combined can fill it…but single cannot…so there will be a small change in their algo…please notify them about it…and hence the TEST CASES on hackerrank are also weak for this question…because their code passed all of those test cases…

On this link you can see thier code…and the test case…that the output is none…but in actual these words can be fit in the space…

if it is mention in the question that you can place two words in single horizontal or vertical column
then you are right

but generally in crossword puzzles you have to fill only single word in empty space

i hope this help
