NYT crossword puzzles hardly ever have might be rigged as just a straight clue. Most of the time, it's a wordplay clue, that is, the answer is a word that can be rigged in a well-known phrase, e.g., JURY (like in jury, rigged), ELECTION, GAME, or the precise answer varies depending on the length of the word and the letters that cross it.
