Singer Smith of the Chantels crossword clue
67 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 9, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Singer Smith of the Chantels” is ARLENE. It appears as 67 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 9, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Under the Weather” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 15 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 A and ends with E, and contains 3 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.
