Bad way to run crossword clue
115 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 6, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Bad way to run” is AMOK. It appears as 115 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 6, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Bleep! Bleep!” by Loren Kristan Mell, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 18, column 17 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 A and ends with K, and contains 2 vowels and 2 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.
