Cal Poly home crossword clue
53 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 13 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Cal Poly home” is SANLUISOBISPO. It appears as 53 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 13 squares running left to right from row 11, column 2 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 S and ends with O, and contains 6 vowels and 7 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
