History topic crossword clue
7 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 11, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “History topic” is ERA. It appears as 7 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 11, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Go-Betweens” by David Alfred Bywaters, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 8 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 E and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
