Skill practiced on dummies, briefly crossword clue
14 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 29, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Skill practiced on dummies, briefly” is CPR. It appears as 14 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 29, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Switching Seats” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 2, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with C and ends with R, and contains 0 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.
