Pepto-Bismol hue crossword clue

5 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 25, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
PINK
PINK (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Pepto-Bismol hue” is PINK. It appears as 5 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 25, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Joking Kind” by Daniel Hrynick, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 6 of the 15×15 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 P and ends with K, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
