Show those pearly whites crossword clue

1 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 9, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
SMILE
SMILE (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Show those pearly whites” is SMILE. It appears as 1 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 9, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “At Your Fingertips” by Howard Neuthaler, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 1, column 1 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 E, and contains 2 vowels 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
