Many miles away crossword clue
18 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 19, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Many miles away” is AFAR. It appears as 18 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 19, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Split Decision” by Adam Simpson, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 3, column 5 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 R, and contains 2 vowels and 2 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.
