Exit the Subaru? crossword clue
28 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 22, 2026 · 12 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Exit the Subaru?” is LEAVEALEGACY. It appears as 28 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 22, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Car Talk” by Fred Raker & Jeremy Lieberman, and it fills 12 squares running left to right from row 6, column 4 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with L and ends with Y, and contains 6 vowels and 6 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
