Business with many reps? crossword clue
42 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 13, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Business with many reps?” is GYM. It appears as 42 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 13, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Product Recall” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 8, column 13 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with G and ends with M, and contains 0 vowels 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
