Coastline curves crossword clue
50 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Coastline curves” is BIGHTS. It appears as 50 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 2, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Success Story” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 11, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with B and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
Past appearances
BIGHTS has not appeared as an answer in any other WSJ puzzle in our index, which runs from May 2026 onward. It will be listed here the next time it turns up.
