Milky Way, e.g. crossword clue
30 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 12, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Milky Way, e.g.” is BAR. It appears as 30 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 12, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tribal Tunes” by Luke K. Schreiber, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 6 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 B and ends with R, and contains 1 vowel 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
