Passing comments? crossword clue
62 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 14, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Passing comments?” is AYES. It appears as 62 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 14, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tuneup” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 15, column 1 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 A 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
