Phone users’ motions, like those at the ends of 20-, 32- and 40-Across crossword clue
55 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 9, 2026 · 13 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Phone users’ motions, like those at the ends of 20-, 32- and 40-Across” is TOUCHGESTURES. It appears as 55 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 9, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “At Your Fingertips” by Howard Neuthaler, and it fills 13 squares running left to right from row 12, column 3 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with T and ends with S, and contains 5 vowels and 8 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.
