Scoreboard abbr. crossword clue
41 Across · WSJ Crossword, August 20, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Scoreboard abbr.” is PTS. It appears as 41 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 20, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Your Journey Begins Now” by Matt Gaffney, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with P and ends with S, and contains 0 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
