Horan of One Direction crossword clue
24 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 15, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Horan of One Direction” is NIALL. It appears as 24 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 15, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Waving Hello” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 5, column 3 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 N and ends with L, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
