Rugged cliff crossword clue
9 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 14, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Rugged cliff” is CRAG. It appears as 9 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 14, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “If I Were You” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 1, column 11 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 C and ends with G, 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. 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.
