Growth areas crossword clue
46 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 5, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Growth areas” is FIELDS. It appears as 46 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 5, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Color Me Gone” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 12 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with F and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
