Ellipse pair crossword clue
14 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 15, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Ellipse pair” is FOCI. It appears as 14 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 15, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Prep Work” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 2, column 12 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 F and ends with I, and contains 2 vowels 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.
