Droop crossword clue

26 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 6, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer

SAG

SAG (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Droop” is SAG. It appears as 26 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 6, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Bleep! Bleep!” by Loren Kristan Mell, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 1 of the 21×21 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 S and ends with G, and contains 1 vowel and 2 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.
