Innocent ones crossword clue
108 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 30, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Innocent ones” is NAIFS. It appears as 108 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 30, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Bread Shtick” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 17, column 8 of the 21×21 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with N and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
Past appearances
NAIFS has not appeared as an answer in any other WSJ puzzle in our index, which runs from May 2026 onward. It will be listed here the next time it turns up.
