One having the write stuff? crossword clue
126 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 9, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “One having the write stuff?” is EDITOR. It appears as 126 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 9, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Under the Weather” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 20, column 8 of the 21×21 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with E and ends with R, and contains 3 vowels and 3 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.
