Curving river shape crossword clue
10 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Curving river shape” is ESS. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, 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 E and ends with S, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
