Can someone explain how "He Got Game" is supposed to fit into seven letters?
Rebus!
I follow Chris Remo for the daily crossword. He goes over the rebus and explains how it works. You can watch the video regarding today's crossword here. Rebuses are usually seen on Thursdays.
NYT also has an article about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/01/crosswords/yes-you-can-write-more-than-one-letter-in-a-square.html
I see. How annoying.
I found them annoying at first but now I like the challenge. They only show up on Thursdays, really, which tend to have tricks like this - so you don't have to worry about them on other days. (And they're why many people have slowed average solve times on Thursday than Friday!)
Ok, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
