Formerly known as crossword clue
60 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 29, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Formerly known as” is NEE. It appears as 60 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 29, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Switching Seats” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 14, column 1 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 N and ends with E, and contains 2 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
