Get on board? crossword clue
3 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 27, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Get on board?” is SURF. It appears as 3 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 27, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Hardheaded” by Marc Goldstein, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 3 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with S and ends with F, and contains 1 vowel and 3 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.
