Gullible type crossword clue
39 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 1, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Gullible type” is SAP. It appears as 39 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 1, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Perfunctory Performance” by Lynn Lempel, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom 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 S and ends with P, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
