Request with clasped hands crossword clue

13 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 17, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
PLEASE
PLEASE (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Request with clasped hands” is PLEASE. It appears as 13 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 17, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Oh, Grow Up!” by Aaron Ullman, and it fills 6 squares running left to right from row 1, column 16 of the 21×21 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 P and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels 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. 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.
