How is fig above big?
If I had to guess it would be from academic works that have fig as short for “figure”. Same for “et” being so high as a part of “et al.”
Are you sure there are 73 3 letter words ? I had 72/73 and checked several times but there were not words without a length indicated anymore, so either there are 72 3 letter words or one of the 3 letter words has the wrong number of letters shown in the clue.
yep there are 73.
