Savory ovoid crossword clue

46 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 11, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
OLIVE
OLIVE (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Savory ovoid” is OLIVE. It appears as 46 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 11, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Go-Betweens” by David Alfred Bywaters, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 3 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 O and ends with E, and contains 3 vowels and 2 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.
