Moved to a table farther from the door, say crossword clue
50 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 29, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Moved to a table farther from the door, say” is RESAT. It appears as 50 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 29, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Switching Seats” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 6 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with R and ends with T, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
