Pianist Gilels crossword clue
16 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 10, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Pianist Gilels” is EMIL. It appears as 16 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 10, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Cell Division” by George Jasper, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 2, column 12 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 L, and contains 2 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.
