Mischievous sort crossword clue

31 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 27, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
IMP
IMP (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Mischievous sort” is IMP. It appears as 31 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 27, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Hardheaded” by Marc Goldstein, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 8 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 P, 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.
