Impatient crossword clue
109 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 27, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Impatient” is ANTSY. It appears as 109 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 27, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Happy Birthday, USA!” by Randolph Ross, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 17, column 14 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 Y, and contains 1 vowel and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
