Play for time crossword clue
44 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 6, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Play for time” is STALL. It appears as 44 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 6, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Bleep! Bleep!” by Loren Kristan Mell, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 7 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 S and ends with L, and contains 1 vowel and 4 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.
