Meat’s marbling crossword clue
58 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 2, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Meat’s marbling” is FAT. It appears as 58 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 2, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In the Pits” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 11 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 F and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel 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. 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.
