Masonry material crossword clue
49 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 29, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Masonry material” is STONE. It appears as 49 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 29, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Going Dutch” by Seth Bisen-Hersh, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, 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 S and ends with E, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
