Why 1-Down is DEAD
1-Down and 10-Across join to make “DEAD RIGHT,” meaning completely and utterly. Forbes and PowerUp list DEAD and RIGHT for the pair, while Parade’s answer text lists DOWN for 1-Down. The paired phrase supports DEAD.
These answers are cross-checked against dated secondary answer pages rather than an official New York Times answer page. Try Hard Guides confirms the clue set; Forbes, Parade, and PowerUp publish answer information, with the 1-Down disagreement noted above.
