WORDY WEDNESDAY #250
PENT WORDS 50
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 Aunt of pancake mix fame / Release one's anger
2 ____ of Africa (1985 film) / ____ Pizza Cats (1990-1991 cartoon)
3 A fox or a table has four / Breastbones
4 Leave out / Bizet opera
5 Yogi who said, "I never said most of the things I said" / Fish-eating mammal in the weasel family
6 A form of tangelo / Clean or celibate
7 Irritate / Tempt
8 ____ Tuned (1992 film) / South Park: Bigger, ____ & Uncut
9 One of 90 in the measure of a right angle / Cheese named after a region in France
10 European automobile race site / A dark shade of blue
