PENT WORDS 12

(click here for a PDF version)

In this puzzle, you must divide the grid into pentominoes (regions containing five cells each), and write a letter in each cell. The rows, reading from left to right, will contain the words hinted at by the ACROSS clues. The letters in the pentominoes, in reading order (left to right starting with the top row), will form the words hinted at by the PENTOMINOES clues; these clues are presented in no particular order. (In the example above, the rows spell PLANT, SHARE, and BITES, and the pentominoes spell the words PLANS, TREES, and HABIT.) Use the ACROSS answers to determine where the pentominoes are.

ACROSS (two answers per row):
1 Item under a pillow, sometimes / ____ and dangerous
2 Not wordy / Pertaining to the schnoz
3 ____ and Omega (2010 film) / Yankee catcher in the National Baseball Hall of Fame

5 Gray who played Sue Ellen Ewing on Dallas / Jules Verne's genre: hyph.
6 Deadly / Place for a sensei
7 More aged / It shades your eyes
8 Glass-cleaning brand / "Breaking Up Is ____ to Do" (Neil Sedaka song)
9 Jonah's successor / Orson Scott Card title character
10 Canis latrans, more familiarly / "Muskrat ____"
