Sank one’s teeth into? crossword clue
31 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Sank one’s teeth into?” is SAWED. It appears as 31 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 7, column 5 of the 15×15 grid.
The question mark at the end of the clue signals wordplay: the surface reading is a misdirection, and the answer fits a punning or figurative sense of the words. The entry begins with S and ends with D, and contains 2 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. 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.
