Clean up copy crossword clue
61 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 1, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Clean up copy” is EDIT. It appears as 61 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 1, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Moving Right Along” by Stella Zawistowski, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 13, column 1 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 E and ends with T, and contains 2 vowels 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. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
