Paid spots crossword clue
29 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 27, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Paid spots” is ADS. It appears as 29 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 27, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “In a Pet” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 9 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with A and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
