Opportunity to get ship-wrecked? crossword clue
64 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 6, 2026 · 11 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Opportunity to get ship-wrecked?” is BOOZECRUISE. It appears as 64 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 6, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Double Duty” by Vasu Seralathan, and it fills 11 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 4 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 B and ends with E, and contains 6 vowels and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
