Hubbub crossword clue

15 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 4, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ADO
ADO (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Hubbub” is ADO. It appears as 15 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 4, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “AI Slop” by Christopher Youngs, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 18 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 A and ends with O, 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.
