Options for new parents crossword clue

51 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 10, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
NAMES
NAMES (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Options for new parents” is NAMES. It appears as 51 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 10, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “A House Divided” by Peter A. Collins, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 14 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with N and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
