Capital at 12,000 feet crossword clue
38 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 2, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Capital at 12,000 feet” is LHASA. It appears as 38 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 2, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In the Pits” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 6, column 1 of the 21×21 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 L and ends with A, and contains 2 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. 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.
