2025 WNBA champs crossword clue

53 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 11, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer

ACES

ACES (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “2025 WNBA champs” is ACES. It appears as 53 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 11, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Away” by Alexander Liebeskind, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 12, 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 2 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.
