Foil alternative crossword clue
62 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Foil alternative” is EPEE. It appears as 62 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 23, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Heightened Awareness” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 14, column 12 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 E and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
