“Love Story” writer crossword clue
52 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 12, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Love Story” writer” is SEGAL. It appears as 52 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 12, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Backing the Odds” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 1 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 S and ends with L, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
