Answer-key note
Forbes’s October 4, 2024, answer article listed the 10-Across clue but omitted its answer, and its commentary included a mistaken “RURST” entry for 7-Down. The answer is BURST; the independently published Mashable answer list republished by Yahoo confirms both BURST and ROTTIE. Forbes’s October 4 answer article and Mashable’s October 5 answer list on Yahoo provide the dated answer references. The available answer key was not checked against the NYT’s own grid.
