Sheltered, on a ship crossword clue
17 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 7, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Sheltered, on a ship” is ALEE. It appears as 17 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 7, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Going Strong” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 3, column 12 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 E, and contains 3 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
