Name bestowed by Darth Sidious crossword clue
52 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 13, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Name bestowed by Darth Sidious” is VADER. It appears as 52 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 13, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “The Old College Try” by Vasu Seralathan, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 7 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 V and ends with R, 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.
