___ Lama crossword clue

7 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 17, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
DALAI
DALAI (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “___ Lama” is DALAI. It appears as 7 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 17, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Opposites Attract” by Hunter Murphy, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 8 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 D and ends with I, and contains 3 vowels 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.
