Commotion crossword clue
32 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Commotion” is TODO. It appears as 32 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 23, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Doling Out” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 7 of the 21×21 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 T and ends with O, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
