Cut follow-up crossword clue

12 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 11, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
PASTE
PASTE (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Cut follow-up” is PASTE. It appears as 12 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 11, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Away” by Alexander Liebeskind, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 14 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 P and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
