Bill’s movie bud crossword clue
56 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 15, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Bill’s movie bud” is TED. It appears as 56 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 15, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Prep Work” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 8 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 T and ends with D, and contains 1 vowel 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.
