BMW competitor crossword clue
35 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 22, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “BMW competitor” is AUDI. It appears as 35 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 22, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Eenie, Meenie...” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 4 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 A and ends with I, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
