Ironman race, for short crossword clue
108 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 25, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Ironman race, for short” is TRI. It appears as 108 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 25, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Rounding Error” by Jem Burch, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 17, column 16 of the 21×21 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with T and ends with I, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
