Right in the head crossword clue

20 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 27, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer
SANE
SANE (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Right in the head” is SANE. It appears as 20 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 27, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Brief Exchange” by Mat Holmes, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 4, column 1 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 S and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
