“Didn’t she win @#$% ‘American Idol’?!” crossword clue
62 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 6, 2026 · 13 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Didn’t she win @#$% ‘American Idol’?!”” is KELLYCLARKSON. It appears as 62 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 6, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Bleep! Bleep!” by Loren Kristan Mell, and it fills 13 squares running left to right from row 10, 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 K and ends with N, and contains 3 vowels and 10 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.
