I have hidden five 8-letter words in the grid below. You can find them by selecting one letter from each column, progressing from left to right. Each letter is used exactly once. Can you find the 5 words?

A W I A I A D E
T A C N L I N K
S T R A N I R G
S O R D N A S R
V E R E V N E T

Well, since VOCALIST, TWINNING and SERENADE have been found, their letters can be eliminated and the remaining two words should be easier to extract.

(and SERENADE does eliminate the possibility of VOCALIST being VOCALISE.)
