Felt sore crossword clue
38 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Felt sore” is HURT. It appears as 38 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 15 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 H and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
