Follows the rules crossword clue
68 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 8, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Follows the rules” is OBEYS. It appears as 68 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 8, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Sad to Say” by Lynn Lempel, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 15, column 11 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with O and ends with S, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
