Pumping place crossword clue
22 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 1, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Pumping place” is GYM. It appears as 22 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 1, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “We’ll Be Around” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 4, column 11 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 G and ends with M, and contains 0 vowels and 3 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.
