Santa ___, California crossword clue
10 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 19, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Santa ___, California” is ANA. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 19, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Branch Office” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 12 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 2 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
