Served perfectly crossword clue
24 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 3, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Served perfectly” is ACED. It appears as 24 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 3, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Shades of Difference” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 5, column 9 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 D, 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. 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.
