Many a 1960s protest crossword clue
45 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 24, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Many a 1960s protest” is SITIN. It appears as 45 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 24, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Buckling Up” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 11 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 N, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
