Hitting it scores 10 points crossword clue
28 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 7, 2026 · 15 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Hitting it scores 10 points” is ARCHERYBULLSEYE. It appears as 28 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 7, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Playing Around” by Brian Keller, and it fills 15 squares running left to right from row 6, column 1 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 A and ends with E, and contains 5 vowels and 10 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
