Post positions, for short crossword clue
26 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 25, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Post positions, for short” is EDS. It appears as 26 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 25, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “As a Rule” by Jake Halperin, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 10 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 E 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.
