Kitchen invader crossword clue

116 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 11, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ANT
ANT (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Kitchen invader” is ANT. It appears as 116 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 11, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Go-Betweens” by David Alfred Bywaters, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 19, column 6 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 T, 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.
