Sinuous swimmers crossword clue
53 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 23, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Sinuous swimmers” is EELS. It appears as 53 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 23, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Heightened Awareness” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 9 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
