Phanerozoic, e.g. crossword clue
27 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 17, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Phanerozoic, e.g.” is EON. It appears as 27 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 17, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Opposites Attract” by Hunter Murphy, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 6, column 9 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 E and ends with N, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. 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.
