Philadelphia footballer crossword clue
65 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 30, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Philadelphia footballer” is EAGLE. It appears as 65 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 30, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Overstepping” by Paul Hudes, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 14, 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 E and ends with E, and contains 3 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
