ID found on a jacket crossword clue

38 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 30, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
ISBN
ISBN (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “ID found on a jacket” is ISBN. It appears as 38 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 30, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 8 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 I and ends with N, and contains 1 vowel and 3 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.
