Two times three equals five (Posted on 2012-05-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Arrange the following letters in the grid to form six 5-letter words. Each 5-letter word is the result of two 3-letter words, the final letter of the first being the initial one of the second word, eg: spa & ark → spark.
     A A A C E E 
     E E H I I M
     N N O P P R
     S T T
	 
These clues pertain loosely 
to the 6 5-letter words:  
       victor
       mature
       holding
       weight
       tree
       grape

Solution: (Hide)
  Victor  = CHAMP (CHA + AMP)
  Mature  = RIPEN (RIP + PEN)
  Holding = TENET (TEN + NET)
  Weight  = CARAT (CAR + RAT)
  Tree    = ASPEN (ASP + PEN)
  Grape   = PINOT (PIN + NOT)

 Depending upon orientation one had either of these:

     C A R A T         C H A M P
     H   I   E         A   S   I
     A S P E N    or   R I P E N
     M   E   E         A   E   O 
     P I N O T         T E N E T 
	 
The above is a modification of Steve Herman's solution.
I somehow 'managed' to remove my own from Perplexus when comparing both Steve and Dej Mar's offer.

There is a potential challenge, but not consciously implied, in the Dej Mar comment that could take such a concept as this to a slightly higher level.
