Problem Description:

The task involves completing words using the digraphs ng and nk. The goal is to fill in the blanks to form complete words, and some words may require more than one digraph or blend.

- A digraph is a pair of letters that represent a single sound.
- In this case, we are focusing on the digraphs ng and nk.

2. Complete Words:
