2022 World Series champs crossword clue

46 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 16, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
ASTROS
ASTROS (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “2022 World Series champs” is ASTROS. It appears as 46 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 16, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Things Are Looking Up” by Jackson Musker, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 11, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with A and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
