Most welcomed line at a bar? crossword clue
12 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 2, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Most welcomed line at a bar?” is ITSONME. It appears as 12 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 2, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Circular Reasoning” by David Steinberg, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 14 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with I and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 4 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.
