Capote-based play crossword clue
60 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 12, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Capote-based play” is TRU. It appears as 60 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 12, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Highlights” by Aidan Glenn, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 14 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 T and ends with U, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
