ANSWERS: Pent Words 5

My fifth "Pent Words" puzzle was apparently a difficult one, but that didn't stop eleven of you from solving it within the past two weeks!
  • Eric Maddy ****
  • Yossi Fendel ****
  • Sam Levitin ****
  • Lynn Sweeney ****
  • Brad Eldredge ****
  • Tyler Hinman ****
  • Adam Weaver ****

Now that the solvers for this puzzle have been listed, just head below the break for the answers!


The two unclued pentominoes, highlighted above in pink, combine to spell out CRAZY HEART

Jeff Bridges and his Best Actor Oscar for Crazy Heart. Let's just say the Dude abides very much!

Solver Yossi Fendel noted that "Interestingly, this answer serves as a wordplay clue for ANOTHER well-known film of the late 2000's (but that one's a nature documentary)." Highlight the space between the brackets for the answer: [He's referring to Disneynature's Earth, which is a "Crazy" -- i.e. scrambled-up -- version of "Heart"]

Solver Tyler Hinman saw that there were too many obscure clues for his liking, so he took a shortcut: "I'll be honest... I just went straight to a list of movies and picked out a 5,5. You may wish to specify your meta answers a lot less, since there's usually not really much of a puzzle to that part (unlike, say, a Gaffney). It's just reading something out. Just saying "the answer is a title" is probably enough to confirm."

“I have something special for you!”
