Samhain celebrators crossword clue

72 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 23, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
CELTS
CELTS (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Samhain celebrators” is CELTS. It appears as 72 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 23, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “In and Out” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 17 of the 21×21 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with C and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
