Acceptances crossword clue
51 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 9, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Acceptances” is YESSES. It appears as 51 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 9, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Outward Bound” by Prasanna Keshava, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 15 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with Y 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 Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
