Follower of special or black crossword clue
30 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 25, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Follower of special or black” is OPS. It appears as 30 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 25, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Rounding Error” by Jem Burch, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 19 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 O and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel 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. 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.
