Seized vehicle, familiarly crossword clue
55 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 11, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Seized vehicle, familiarly” is REPO. It appears as 55 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 11, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “The Bottom Line” by Peter A. Collins, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 12, column 12 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 R and ends with O, and contains 2 vowels 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
