Ed in “Elf” crossword clue
22 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 10, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Ed in “Elf”” is ASNER. It appears as 22 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 10, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Let’s Change Places” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 4, column 9 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 A and ends with R, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
