Coward with a knighthood crossword clue
32 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 3, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Coward with a knighthood” is NOEL. It appears as 32 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 3, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Secret Society” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 7, column 8 of the 15×15 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 N and ends with L, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
