Almost forever crossword clue
36 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 15, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Almost forever” is EONS. It appears as 36 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 15, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Prep Work” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 of the 15×15 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 E 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. 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.
