Chow line? crossword clue
63 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 6, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Chow line?” is LEASH. It appears as 63 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 6, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Bleep! Bleep!” by Loren Kristan Mell, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 4 of the 21×21 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with L and ends with H, 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.
