Heavenly path? crossword clue
66 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Heavenly path?” is ORBIT. It appears as 66 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 14, column 5 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with O and ends with T, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
