Crew member crossword clue
2 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 21, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Crew member” is OAR. It appears as 2 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 21, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Nope!” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 2 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 O and ends with R, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
