New York theater awards crossword clue
22 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 23, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “New York theater awards” is OBIES. It appears as 22 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 23, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “C-llectively Speaking” by Andrea Carla Michaels & Kevin Christian, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 4, column 7 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with O and ends with S, and contains 3 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
