Amusing escapade crossword clue

10 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 3, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
LARK
LARK (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Amusing escapade” is LARK. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 3, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Shades of Difference” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 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 L and ends with K, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
