F-, e.g. crossword clue
35 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 15, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “F-, e.g.” is ION. It appears as 35 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 15, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Prep Work” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 8, column 13 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 I and ends with N, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
