Pull into the driveway, say crossword clue
89 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 16, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Pull into the driveway, say” is GETHOME. It appears as 89 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 16, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “On the Wrong Track” by Brad Wiegmann, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 15, column 14 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with G and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 4 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.
