Quote the raven? crossword clue
39 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 22, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Quote the raven?” is CAW. It appears as 39 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 22, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Sitting Around” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 8, column 13 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 C and ends with W, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
