Modest amounts crossword clue
55 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Modest amounts” is IOTAS. It appears as 55 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 7 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with I and ends with S, 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.
