PENT WORDS 115
(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 Small bend a cheater might make in a card / Lute relatives
2 Blunder / Reagan’s veep
3 Granted temporary use of / Glide
4 Maxims / Item at a birthday party or wedding, often
5 Revolve rapidly / NFL mascot Poe, for example
6 Sailor’s greeting / Erase, as computer files
7 Child-eating monsters / Rubbery glove material
8 Non-human Twitter user, for example / Obsolete
9 Wildebeest / “____ to Watch Over Me” (song from the Gershwin musical Oh, Kay!)
10 2005 horror film about three backpackers in Europe / Vessel for soup, often
