Serpents on sarcophagi crossword clue
41 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 12, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Serpents on sarcophagi” is ASPS. It appears as 41 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 12, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tribal Tunes” by Luke K. Schreiber, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 15 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 A and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 3 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.
