Scrabble play crossword clue
46 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 8, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Scrabble play” is WORD. It appears as 46 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 8, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Sad to Say” by Lynn Lempel, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 10, column 10 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 W and ends with D, and contains 1 vowel 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
