Dirt road tracks crossword clue
126 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 21, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Dirt road tracks” is RUTS. It appears as 126 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 21, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Nope!” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 21, column 6 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with R and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 3 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.
