Centurion, say crossword clue
102 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 30, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Centurion, say” is ROMAN. It appears as 102 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 30, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 17, column 20 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with R and ends with N, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
