Small toymaker crossword clue
20 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 27, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Small toymaker” is ELF. It appears as 20 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 27, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Hardheaded” by Marc Goldstein, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 1 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 E and ends with F, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
