How the wordplay works
The paired clues for 7A and 1D point to GABBY (“overly talkative”) and BAGGY (“overly loose”). Both words use the consonants G, B, and Y; their order is reversed while the A’s remain in place. The remaining short answers follow directly from the clues: ABE is Abraham Lincoln, and NYT is the competitor named against the Wall Street Journal.
