Gossip, in modern lingo crossword clue
10 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Gossip, in modern lingo” is TEA. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 12 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 T and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
