Left on a cruise? crossword clue
15 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 5, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Left on a cruise?” is PORT. It appears as 15 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 5, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Fine Art” by Shmuel Schmell, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 2, column 7 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with P and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
