Paul Atreides’s father, in “Dune” crossword clue
110 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 2, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Paul Atreides’s father, in “Dune”” is LETO. It appears as 110 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 2, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In the Pits” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 18, column 13 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with L and ends with O, and contains 2 vowels 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. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
