Extra NHL periods crossword clue

1 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 20, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
OTS
OTS (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Extra NHL periods” is OTS. It appears as 1 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 20, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Hold On!” by Daniel Hrynick, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 1, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with O and ends with S, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
