One of 265 in the Bronx Zoo crossword clue
39 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 21, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “One of 265 in the Bronx Zoo” is ACRE. It appears as 39 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 21, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Nope!” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 6, column 10 of the 21×21 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 A and ends with E, 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. 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.
