Puff piece? crossword clue
10 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 10, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Puff piece?” is WISP. It appears as 10 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 10, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Cell Division” by George Jasper, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 1, column 12 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with W and ends with P, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
