NOTE: The listed coordinates are NOT the position of the cache. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the actual coordinates of the cache.
This time the Twinimals (Spurple and Elizapink) have collaborated to produce the puzzle, which -- you guessed it -- is once again patterned after a style I first saw in Eric Berlin's Puzzlesnacks. Enjoy!
If you wish, the puzzle is also available to download and print as a PDF.

In each of the puzzles below, you can take the letters from one of the squares in each column, reading left to right, to make a word or phrase. All of the answers in a given puzzle belong to the same category, but you’ll have to discover which three categories out of the seven listed below. Cross out each grid square on the left as you use it to form a word or phrase, then write the correct answers straight across into the grid boxes on the right. In the end, you'll have five different words reading across in each grid, all from the same category. (For convenience I’ve kept the first column letters in the same positions.) Lastly, to check your answers and get the final coordinates, concatenate all the letters in the highlighted diagonals into Certitude, reading left to right and top to bottom.
