___-Ball (arcade favorite) crossword clue
43 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 11, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “___-Ball (arcade favorite)” is SKEE. It appears as 43 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 11, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Away” by Alexander Liebeskind, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 9, column 12 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 S and ends with E, and contains 2 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
