“Science Guy” Bill crossword clue

26 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 12, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
NYE
NYE (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to ““Science Guy” Bill” is NYE. It appears as 26 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 12, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tribal Tunes” by Luke K. Schreiber, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 11 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 N and ends with E, and contains 1 vowel 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
