Get into the pool crossword clue
59 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 19, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Get into the pool” is BET. It appears as 59 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 19, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Thumbs Down” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 15 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 B 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.
