Mother of Horus crossword clue
60 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 13, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Mother of Horus” is ISIS. It appears as 60 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 12, column 3 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 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.
