2001 Will Smith film crossword clue
2 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 2, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “2001 Will Smith film” is ALI. It appears as 2 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 2, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In the Pits” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 2 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with A and ends with I, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
