Mediterranean resort crossword clue
38 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 25, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Mediterranean resort” is IBIZA. It appears as 38 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 25, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Rounding Error” by Jem Burch, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 4 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 I and ends with A, and contains 3 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. 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.
