nytimes: accommodate moreAnswers field for otherwise blank squares #173

Closed thisisparker closed 5 months ago

thisisparker commented 5 months ago

In some cases, NYT puzzle data encodes squares that are canonically blank. The .puz format doesn't support blank solution answers, but fortunately in every example I've seen so far, there is a moreAnswers field to allow rebus entry. This is sort of kludge-y because it collapses the possible rebus answers down to the first one provided, but it is a valid file and a decent approximation.

Fixes #170 Fixes #154
