Inquires crossword clue
65 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Answer
ASKS
ASKS (4 letters)
Explanation
The answer to “Inquires” is ASKS. It appears as 65 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 23, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Passions Run Deep” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 15, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with A and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
