Newman and Oldman, e.g. crossword clue
1 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 17, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Newman and Oldman, e.g.” is ACTORS. It appears as 1 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 17, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Oh, Grow Up!” by Aaron Ullman, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 1, column 1 of the 21×21 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 A and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
