In the style of crossword clue

56 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 30, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ALA
ALA (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “In the style of” is ALA. It appears as 56 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 30, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Double-Header” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 6 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 A and ends with A, 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
