Highest active volcano in Eur. crossword clue

59 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 16, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
MTETNA
MTETNA (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Highest active volcano in Eur.” is MTETNA. It appears as 59 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 16, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “On the Wrong Track” by Brad Wiegmann, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 5 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 M and ends with A, 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. 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.
