Peter of “The Lion in Winter” crossword clue
86 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 18, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Peter of “The Lion in Winter”” is OTOOLE. It appears as 86 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 18, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Guest Workers” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 16, column 2 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 O and ends with E, and contains 4 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.
