Clog-clearing brand crossword clue
24 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 16, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Clog-clearing brand” is DRANO. It appears as 24 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 16, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Pitch In” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 2 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 D and ends with O, 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
