Invite on a date crossword clue

37 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
ASKOUT
ASKOUT (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Invite on a date” is ASKOUT. It appears as 37 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 10 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 T, and contains 3 vowels 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
