CIRCULAR M◎NTH! PUZZLE #290: Coined Phrases 4

CIRCULAR M🟢NTH!
PUZZLE #290
COINED PHRASES 4

Yup, it's another theme month, and this time, the theme is CIRCLES! More specifically, all of the puzzles for this month will involve circles in some way, whether it's something that uses multiple circles, or the grid itself is one giant circle. Sure, I could try to spin this admittedly weak theme into something more meaningful by pointing out how so many word puzzles involve squares and such, giving me the chance to showcase how other word puzzles can use some lesser-used shapes like circles..... but the truth is that I coincidentally had two circle-related puzzles scheduled for the first couple weeks of July, so I decided to take advantage of that and make a theme out of it. And now with that out of the way, let's kick things off with a puzzle type that I haven't done in quite some time!

There is a set of five coins, all of which have one letter on each of their two faces. Each letter appears only once throughout the set, and no two coins share the same letter. Random flips of all the coins have produced six 5-letters words hinted at by the numbered clues. Once all six answers have been solved, use logic and deductive reasoning to figure out the letters that are printed on each coin. Finally, rearrange the coins so that both sides spell out two more 5-letter words that combine to make a two-word phrase.

This week's FINAL ANSWER is a well-known item from medieval legends



1) "Li'l" comic strip character who married Daisy Mae in 1952
2) [_____ swim] (Cartoon Network's late-night programming block)
3) Japanese boxed lunch
4) Tool that burns bovines' butts with a symbol
5) Krispy Kreme confection
6) When doubled, new wave band who did the theme song for A View to a Kill

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
