Oliver Twist, for one crossword clue
10 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 6, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Oliver Twist, for one” is WAIF. It appears as 10 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 6, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Overhead” by Daniel Hrynick, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 1, column 12 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with W and ends with F, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
