Come back from space, say crossword clue
43 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 28, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Come back from space, say” is REENTER. It appears as 43 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 28, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Bird Is the Word” by Jay Silverman, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 9, column 9 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with R and ends with R, and contains 3 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
