Functions crossword clue
42 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 25, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Functions” is USES. It appears as 42 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 25, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Rounding Error” by Jem Burch, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 6, column 18 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with U and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels 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.
