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, 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 Ramble / Small child
2 Throw, as dice or a fishing line / Gadget for scraping a lemon rind
3 Texas city named after a son of Theodore Roosevelt, not a Muppet / Slice from the end of a loaf of bread
4 Flexible / Word following “snow” or “sweet”
5 Pull with a jerking motion / Metamorphic rock that splits into very thin plates
6 Set of DNA instructions in a cell / Jetty
7 Hazardous / Spinning woodworking tool
8 What R-O-L-A-I-D-S spells / The Joy of Painting host Bob
9 Pleasing smells / Prestigious boarding school in Berkshire, England
10 “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” singer Warwick / Cartman’s first name on South Park
