Pointer’s word crossword clue
101 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 31, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Pointer’s word” is THERE. It appears as 101 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 31, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “I Got You Babe” by Jeff Jerome, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 17, column 12 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 T and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 3 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.
