“Ritorna vincitor!” opera crossword clue
51 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 5, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Ritorna vincitor!” opera” is AIDA. It appears as 51 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 5, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Color Me Gone” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 2 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 A and ends with A, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
