Corp. benefits experts crossword clue
68 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 21, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Corp. benefits experts” is HRREPS. It appears as 68 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 21, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Nope!” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 7 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with H and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel 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.
