Fabrications crossword clue
43 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 9, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Fabrications” is LIES. It appears as 43 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 9, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “At Your Fingertips” by Howard Neuthaler, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 9, column 10 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with L and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
