John who illustrated “Alice in Wonderland” crossword clue
26 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 29, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to “John who illustrated “Alice in Wonderland”” is TENNIEL. It appears as 26 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 29, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Keeping in Shape” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 7 squares running left to right from row 6, column 1 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 T and ends with L, and contains 3 vowels and 4 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.
