Kvass ingredient crossword clue
5 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 3, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Kvass ingredient” is RYE. It appears as 5 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 3, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Secret Society” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 5 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 R and ends with E, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
