Magnificence crossword clue
105 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 9, 2026 · 8 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Magnificence” is SPLENDOR. It appears as 105 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 9, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Under the Weather” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 8 squares running left to right from row 17, column 4 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 S and ends with R, and contains 2 vowels and 6 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
