Director Spike crossword clue

12 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 2, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
LEE
LEE (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Director Spike” is LEE. It appears as 12 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 2, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “For a Song” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 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 L and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
