PENT WORDS 124
(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, 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 Mia Hamm’s sport / On a boat on the ocean
2 Place of worship / Inch, foot, or yard
3 Fabric sample / Green vegetable related to cabbage
4 Companion of Simon and Theodore / It’s held in a courtroom
5 Certain Volkswagen model / Semicircular vaulted recess
6 Furor / Like all prime numbers except for 2
7 Red ____ (children’s game) / Surname of the family from the soap opera Dallas
8 Fungus used in brewing / Bell’s sound
9 Give a darn / Creature from the Black ____ (1954 film)
10 Sticky stuff / Part of a retirement plan, often
