Angelina of “Maleficent” crossword clue
14 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 30, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Angelina of “Maleficent”” is JOLIE. It appears as 14 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 30, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Let’s Celebrate” by Ben Wildman-Tobriner & Stephanie Wildman, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 2, column 7 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 J and ends with E, and contains 3 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. 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.
