Maker of the A3, Q5 and R8 crossword clue
63 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Maker of the A3, Q5 and R8” is AUDI. It appears as 63 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 23, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Passions Run Deep” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 14, column 6 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 A and ends with I, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
