Budget limit crossword clue
11 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 31, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Budget limit” is CAP. It appears as 11 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 31, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Here’s The Deal” by Zachary David Levy, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 1, column 13 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 C and ends with P, and contains 1 vowel 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
