Dopey dog of the comics crossword clue
68 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 27, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Dopey dog of the comics” is ODIE. It appears as 68 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 27, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “In a Pet” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 14, column 12 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 O and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
