First nudist colony? crossword clue
60 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 28, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “First nudist colony?” is EDEN. It appears as 60 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 28, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Capital Gains” by Jake Halperin, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 14, column 6 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with E and ends with N, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
