Play reviewer crossword clue

55 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 18, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
UMP
UMP (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Play reviewer” is UMP. It appears as 55 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 18, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Guest Workers” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 8 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 U and ends with P, and contains 1 vowel 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. 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.
