Podcast interruptions crossword clue

4 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 2, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer

ADS

ADS (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Podcast interruptions” is ADS. It appears as 4 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 2, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Circular Reasoning” by David Steinberg, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 4 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with A and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
