(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 Mix recipe ingredients, perhaps / Marvel Comics character who can freeze things
2 Hooded snakes / Dwindle
3 ____ Pursuit (board game) / “____ But True” (Metallica song)

5 ____ Tom’s Cabin / Greek flatbreads
6 Basco who played Rufio in Hook (1991) / It can be rough
7 Buddy / Of low social rank
8 Creatures which serve as Duke Igthorn’s minions in Adventures of the Gummi Bears / Dome-shaped home
