A crowd, they say crossword clue
127 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 4, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “A crowd, they say” is THREE. It appears as 127 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 4, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “AI Slop” by Christopher Youngs, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 20, column 7 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with T and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
