“Rhinoceros” playwright crossword clue
38 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 10, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Rhinoceros” playwright” is IONESCO. It appears as 38 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 10, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “A House Divided” by Peter A. Collins, and it fills 7 squares running left to right from row 8, column 9 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 I and ends with O, and contains 4 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
