Palette paints crossword clue
23 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 2, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Palette paints” is OILS. It appears as 23 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 2, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Getting Closer” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 5, 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 O and ends with S, and contains 2 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.
