Athens aperitif crossword clue
37 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 17, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Athens aperitif” is OUZO. It appears as 37 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 17, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Oh, Grow Up!” by Aaron Ullman, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 19 of the 21×21 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 O and ends with O, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
