Coat on a bench, say crossword clue
93 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 23, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Coat on a bench, say” is PAINT. It appears as 93 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 23, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In and Out” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 17, column 13 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with P and ends with T, 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.
