Coordinate crossword clue
92 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 23, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Coordinate” is SYNCH. It appears as 92 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 11 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 S and ends with H, and contains 0 vowels and 5 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.
