PENT WORDS 134
(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 Magazine with a “Fold-in” / “____ aweigh, my boys. . .”
2 Short in duration / Senior
3 Run off to marry / Use a Gillette tool

5 Mexican street food item / Adolescents
6 Receive by effort / Fail to go through, as a check
7 Boy / 1959-1965 Western series starring Clint Eastwood
8 Russian wolfhound / ____ Grey tea
9 Vigilant / Watchmaker’s magnifier
10 Canonized one / Climb
