Sewer scurriers crossword clue
33 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 16, 2026 · 4 letters
Answer
RATS
RATS (4 letters)
Explanation
The answer to “Sewer scurriers” is RATS. It appears as 33 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 16, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Pitch In” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 8, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with R 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 Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
