Designer’s draft crossword clue
32 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 4, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Designer’s draft” is SKETCH. It appears as 32 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 4, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “AI Slop” by Christopher Youngs, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 5, column 1 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 S and ends with H, and contains 1 vowel and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
