Colgate products? crossword clue
30 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 16, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Colgate products?” is GRADS. It appears as 30 Across 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 left to right from row 7, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with G and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 4 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.
