Monk in the mountains crossword clue
10 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 13, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Monk in the mountains” is LAMA. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 13, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Product Recall” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 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 L and ends with A, and contains 2 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
