Cut of beef crossword clue
55 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 4, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Cut of beef” is LOIN. It appears as 55 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 4, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Zzz Top” by Shmuel Schmell, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 3 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 L and ends with N, and contains 2 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
