Layered treat crossword clue

34 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 7, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer

OREO

OREO (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Layered treat” is OREO. It appears as 34 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 7, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Military Dress” by Alan DerKazarian, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 20 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 O and ends with O, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
