Capital on the Missouri River crossword clue
34 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 31, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Capital on the Missouri River” is PIERRE. It appears as 34 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 31, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “I Got You Babe” by Jeff Jerome, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 5, column 16 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 P and ends with E, and contains 3 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.
