Small amphibians crossword clue
31 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 22, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Small amphibians” is NEWTS. It appears as 31 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 22, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Sitting Around” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 6, column 15 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with N and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 4 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.
