(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 “Well done!” / Very angry
2 ____ Jam: A New Legacy (2021 film) / Model airplane wood, often
3 Ghost / What a deceiver might pull over your eyes

8 White part of the eye / A Bantu language
9 Famous razor namesake / ____ of the crop
10 Helen who co-founded the ACLU / “This ____” (Faith Hill hit)
