Chicago Loop trains crossword clue
21 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 28, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Chicago Loop trains” is ELS. It appears as 21 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 28, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Command Performance” by Peter A. Collins, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 6 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
