Apples and oranges, say crossword clue
58 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 15, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Apples and oranges, say” is TREES. It appears as 58 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 15, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Prep Work” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 14, column 6 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with T and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
