PUZZLE #344: Compound Crosswords 7

PUZZLE #344
COMPOUND CROSSWORDS 7

Fit the words hinted at by the clues into the nine grids below so that the two words in each grid combine to create a two-word phrase or compound word. There may be multiple possibilities for these phrases, but there's only one way that all the words will fit in all of the grids.

Once each grid is filled out, the pink letters in each grid will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a pinball machine made up of a compound word


CLUES
• Burrow like a gopher
• Comic book company (which isn't DC or Marvel) that publishes Spawn
• _____-crystal display
• Dental cap
• Distorted funhouse feature
• "Foolish Games" singer
• Genre featured on MTV's Headbangers Ball
• Mining tool used by Stinky Pete the Prospector from Toy Story 2
• Nocturnal birds that deliver acceptance letters to Hogwarts
• Not costing a single cent
• Plastic piece in Trivial Pursuit
• Smooth down in woodshop class
• Tintin's dog, who's white like winter weather
• Titular "Stallion of the Cimarron" from a 2002 DreamWorks film
• Unit of cabbage
Wanda_____ (Disney+ show)
• Word following "booster" or "flu"
• Ziggy Stardust's instrument

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 even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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!
