Combination #1 by Andrew J. Reis

Here’s a nice variation on a theme - multiple squares with two letters in each. One way you use both letters in the same word; the other way you use each letter separately to give two words. The clue for this second type has two definitions back to back in the clue, which you have to parse separately - kinda reads like a cryptic. Well done, Andrew!
