Amused sound crossword clue
45 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 26, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Amused sound” is TITTER. It appears as 45 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 26, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Whew!” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 9, column 10 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 T and ends with R, 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.
