Basset hound’s floppers crossword clue
18 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 3, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Basset hound’s floppers” is EARS. It appears as 18 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 3, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Hot Leads” by Sam Koperwas, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 3, column 12 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
