Off-road ride, for short crossword clue
61 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 17, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Off-road ride, for short” is ATV. It appears as 61 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 17, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Oh, Grow Up!” by Aaron Ullman, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 11 of the 21×21 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with A and ends with V, and contains 1 vowel 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. 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.
