Makeup remover crossword clue

19 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 28, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
WIPE
WIPE (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Makeup remover” is WIPE. It appears as 19 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 28, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Capital Gains” by Jake Halperin, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 3, column 12 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 W and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. 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.
