Formic acid producer crossword clue
58 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 14, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Formic acid producer” is ANT. It appears as 58 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 14, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tuneup” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 7 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 A and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
