Paleozoic, for one crossword clue

40 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 2, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ERA
ERA (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Paleozoic, for one” is ERA. It appears as 40 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 2, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Poll Position” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.

The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with E and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
