Full Tapa (557)

Instruction:
Shade some empty cells black (cells with numbers or letters cannot be shaded). All black cells connect along edges to create a single connected region. (It is permissible for the region to touch itself at a corner, but touching at a corner does not connect the region.) No 2×2 group of squares can be entirely shaded black.
Numbers in a cell indicate the lengths of contiguous black cell groups along the "ring" of (up to) 8 cells touching that cell. (If there is more than one number in a cell, then there must be at least one white (unshaded) cell between the black cell groups.) The numbers are given in no particular order. As a special case, if the number given in a cell is a zero (0), it means that none of the cells around that cell may be shaded black.
Enter the given words once each into the rest of the empty cells. Words must be written, one letter per cell, either across or down. All words formed by (orthogonally) touching letters in the grid must be in the word list. Some letters are already given for you. The words do not need to all be connected. As a special case, if a one-letter word is given, it cannot touch any other letter in the grid.
