7 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 27, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “It’s about 2,000 miles east of LAX” is ATL. It appears as 7 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 27, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Happy Birthday, USA!” by Randolph Ross, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 1, column 8 of the 21×21 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 L, and contains 1 vowel and 2 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.
