Farfalle or fusilli, for example crossword clue
4 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 26, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Farfalle or fusilli, for example” is PASTA. It appears as 4 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 26, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Stroke Of Luck” by Freddie Cheng, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 1, column 5 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with P and ends with A, and contains 2 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. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
