Brief recharges crossword clue
43 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Brief recharges” is NAPS. It appears as 43 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 9, 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 N and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 3 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.
