Green, in a way crossword clue

42 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 20, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
NEW
NEW (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Green, in a way” is NEW. It appears as 42 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 20, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Both Ways” by Gary Larson, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 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 N and ends with W, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
