Crested lizard crossword clue

7 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 28, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
IGUANA
IGUANA (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Crested lizard” is IGUANA. It appears as 7 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 28, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Set Piece” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 9 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 I and ends with A, and contains 4 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. 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.
