Half of Popeye’s adopted baby’s name crossword clue
54 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Half of Popeye’s adopted baby’s name” is SWEE. It appears as 54 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 23, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In and Out” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 9, column 14 of the 21×21 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 E, and contains 2 vowels 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. 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.
