Manipulative people crossword clue
68 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 13, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Manipulative people” is USERS. It appears as 68 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 13, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Elaboration” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 15 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 U and ends with S, 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.
