Shrek and Fiona, e.g. crossword clue
41 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 28, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Shrek and Fiona, e.g.” is OGRES. It appears as 41 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 28, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Set Piece” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 6 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 O and ends with S, and contains 2 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.
