Duck, say crossword clue
6 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 16, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Duck, say” is AVOID. It appears as 6 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 16, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Things Are Looking Up” by Jackson Musker, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 7 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with A and ends with D, and contains 3 vowels and 2 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.
