Red figure crossword clue
50 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 29, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Red figure” is DEBT. It appears as 50 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 29, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Going Dutch” by Seth Bisen-Hersh, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 11, column 12 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 D and ends with T, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
