Ends crossword clue
47 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 30, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Ends” is CEASES. It appears as 47 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 30, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 7, column 11 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with C and ends with S, and contains 3 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.
