Crime scene evidence crossword clue
65 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 4, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Crime scene evidence” is DNA. It appears as 65 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 4, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Hollywood Ending” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 11 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 D and ends with A, and contains 1 vowel 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
