Doesn’t add fuel to, say crossword clue

14 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 30, 2026 · 7 letters

Answer
LETSDIE
LETSDIE (7 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Doesn’t add fuel to, say” is LETSDIE. It appears as 14 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 30, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 15 of the 21×21 grid.

The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with L and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels 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.

Past appearances

LETSDIE has not appeared as an answer in any other WSJ puzzle in our index, which runs from May 2026 onward. It will be listed here the next time it turns up.
