The answer to “Shears sound” is SNIP. It appears as 59 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 21, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “High Growth” by Justin Werfel, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, 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 S and ends with P, 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
