Finch related to the canary crossword clue
76 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 30, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Finch related to the canary” is SERIN. It appears as 76 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 30, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Bread Shtick” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 12, column 7 of the 21×21 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 S and ends with N, 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. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
