Diamond covers crossword clue
12 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 2, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Diamond covers” is TARPS. It appears as 12 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 2, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In the Pits” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with T and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
