Playfully pick on crossword clue
28 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 16, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Playfully pick on” is KID. It appears as 28 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 16, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Things Are Looking Up” by Jackson Musker, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 6, column 4 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 K and ends with D, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
