One might make a delivery on the road, for short crossword clue
26 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 12, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “One might make a delivery on the road, for short” is EMT. It appears as 26 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 12, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Backing the Odds” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 6, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with E and ends with T, and contains 1 vowel 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. 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.
