Seething crossword clue

38 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 3, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
MAD
MAD (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Seething” is MAD. It appears as 38 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 3, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Shades of Difference” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 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 M and ends with D, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
