Author Levi crossword clue

53 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 12, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
CARLO
CARLO (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Author Levi” is CARLO. It appears as 53 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 12, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Backing the Odds” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 2 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 C and ends with O, and contains 2 vowels 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.
