“She Bop” singer Cyndi crossword clue
63 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 16, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““She Bop” singer Cyndi” is LAUPER. It appears as 63 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 16, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “On the Wrong Track” by Brad Wiegmann, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 11, column 2 of the 21×21 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 L and ends with R, and contains 3 vowels 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. 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.
