Microsoft pointing device crossword clue
22 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 21, 2026 · 12 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Microsoft pointing device” is INTELLIMOUSE. It appears as 22 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 21, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “High Growth” by Justin Werfel, and it fills 12 squares running top to bottom from row 4, column 7 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 I and ends with E, and contains 6 vowels and 6 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
