10 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 26, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Object of adoration” is IDOL. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 26, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Just for Kicks” by AJ Phillips, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 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 I 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 Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
