City with docks crossword clue

51 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 17, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
PORT
PORT (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “City with docks” is PORT. It appears as 51 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 17, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Whatever Works” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 11, column 12 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 P and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
