About the answer list
Forbes’s January 29, 2026 answer guide lists the solutions above: Forbes answer guide. A Technobezz guide for January 30 gives different answers for three Down clues: EDGE for “Sharp part of a sword,” ACLU for “Left-leaning political org.,” and AMEN for “Right you are!”: Technobezz answer guide. The original NYT grid was not available for independent verification, so the Forbes answers here are attributed rather than presented as an officially confirmed key.
