Double duty? crossword clue
35 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 27, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Double duty?” is STUNT. It appears as 35 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 27, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Happy Birthday, USA!” by Randolph Ross, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 5 of the 21×21 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with S and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel 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. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
