“I don’t believe you!” crossword clue
22 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 19, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““I don’t believe you!”” is LIAR. It appears as 22 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 19, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Thumbs Down” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 4 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 L and ends with R, and contains 2 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
