Obedience school command crossword clue
39 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 1, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Obedience school command” is HEEL. It appears as 39 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 1, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Double Team” by Joe Rodini, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 8, column 1 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 H and ends with L, and contains 2 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
