Dogs’ dogs crossword clue
1 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 20, 2026 · 4 letters
Answer
PAWS
PAWS (4 letters)
Explanation
The answer to “Dogs’ dogs” is PAWS. It appears as 1 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 20, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Both Ways” by Gary Larson, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with P 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 Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
