Home page, in a way crossword clue

71 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 21, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
LEASE
LEASE (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Home page, in a way” is LEASE. It appears as 71 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 21, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Nope!” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 13 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 L and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 2 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.
