Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower,” for one crossword clue
11 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 31, 2026 · 9 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower,” for one” is COVERSONG. It appears as 11 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 31, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Here’s The Deal” by Zachary David Levy, and it fills 9 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with C and ends with G, and contains 3 vowels and 6 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
