Possible nickname for the starred answers, considering their initials crossword clue
58 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 7, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Possible nickname for the starred answers, considering their initials” is AMEN. It appears as 58 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 7, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Leaders” by Aidan Deshong, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 13, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with A and ends with N, and contains 2 vowels 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
