Practice for posers crossword clue
58 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Practice for posers” is YOGA. It appears as 58 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 2, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Success Story” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 9 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 Y and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
