Explanation
The answer to ““East of Eden” brother” is CAL. It appears as 111 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 11, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Standard-Bearers” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 18, column 19 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 C and ends with L, 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.
