KB Toys (isogrammatic kaidoku!)

Back with a kaidoku (aka a "coded crossword") this month, and it's a special one. See, normally you solve kaidokus by looking for letter patterns. But that won't help you here because there are no repeated letters in any of the words!

Let me remind you how this works:

Each answer in a kaidoku, or coded crossword, is a common, lowercase English word. The numbers 1 through 26 each stand for a different letter of the alphabet, and instances of a given number stand for the same letter throughout the entire grid.

I don't usually give hints but because this is such a challenging kaidoku variant, I'll leave one here in ROT-13 in case you need it: va guvf chmmyr gur yrggre z vf ercerfragrq ol gur ahzore gjragl-svir

Good luck and have fun!
