Why 7-Down is BAGS
There is a minor discrepancy between dated answer pages: Forbes prints “BAG,” while Parade and Try Hard Guides give “BAGS.” The clue asks for plural “Items,” and the two latter pages agree on the four-letter answer, so BAGS is the best fit.
Parade’s February 1 answer key, Forbes’ answer page, and Try Hard Guides’ clue page provide the cited answer listings.
