Opposite of faster? crossword clue
63 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 2, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Opposite of faster?” is EATER. It appears as 63 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 2, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Getting Closer” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 15, column 6 of the 15×15 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 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
