Significant span crossword clue

59 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 2, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
ERA
ERA (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Significant span” is ERA. It appears as 59 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 2, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Circular Reasoning” by David Steinberg, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 7 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 E and ends with A, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
