Slides into an Insta chat crossword clue

7 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 23, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
DMS
DMS (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Slides into an Insta chat” is DMS. It appears as 7 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 23, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Heightened Awareness” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 9 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 D and ends with S, and contains 0 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
