Greek letter that looks like an H crossword clue
40 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 19, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Greek letter that looks like an H” is ETA. It appears as 40 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 19, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Flipping the Record” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 7 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 E 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. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
