NYT Crossword January 6, 2021

 A uniclue puzzle! It doesn't play out as nicely on the app, so this would be a great one to do pen and paper. Basically, instead of cluing across or down, it just gives the number. If a number has an across and down solve, then the two are interconnected (in this case Across and Down).

Time: 5:20


The grouped uniclues were as follows:

  • 1A/D Rubberneck: "STOP" and "STARE"
  • 5A/D Stiffly formal: "PRIM" and "PROPER"
  • 9A/D Old Glory: "STARS" and "STRIPES"
  • 33A/D Kind of sauce in Chinese cuisine: "SWEET" and "SOUR"
  • 41A/D Full from, as a place: "BORN" and "BRED"
  • 43A/D Footwear fashion faux pas: "SOCKS" and "SANDALS"
  • 45A/D Risk losing one's license, say: "DRINK" and "DRIVE"
  • 56A/D Proven to be reliable: "TRIED" and "TRUE"
Not too many other clues of note, though I do love the clue for 29A (Second-level = "TIER TWO" is just such a funny solve in my mind). I give 1A over 1D.
