Brutal for me. Had to take the L and lose my 1 day streak yet again. Only found out about the rebuses by watching a Twitch streamer complete the crossword.

"Check puzzle" seems to be borked for rebuses. I can't fix my answer for EDDIEBAUER. Resetting the crossword does not reset the checked answers.

Yeah, Thursday can feel impossible without knowing the little tricks or rebuses that they use. It's very satisfying once you start to recognize them.

Rebuses in NYT allow you to put in the full rebus or just the first letter of the rebus.

For EDDIEBAUER, it also would accept EDDBAUER. So what you have is correct.

Ahh gotcha.

The now-mismatched DIE and D irk me..
