Mississippi symbols crossword clue
30 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 29, 2026 · 13 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Mississippi symbols” is MAGNOLIATREES. It appears as 30 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 29, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Switching Seats” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 13 squares running left to right from row 7, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with M and ends with S, and contains 6 vowels and 7 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
