Hepburn’s “The Lion in Winter” co-star crossword clue
43 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 20, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Hepburn’s “The Lion in Winter” co-star” is OTOOLE. It appears as 43 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 20, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Both Ways” by Gary Larson, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 9, column 5 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 O and ends with E, and contains 4 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
