Goals crossword clue

48 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 14, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
ENDS
ENDS (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Goals” is ENDS. It appears as 48 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 14, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “If I Were You” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 17 of the 21×21 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, 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. 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.
