Smash into crossword clue

68 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 21, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer

RAM

RAM (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Smash into” is RAM. It appears as 68 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 21, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Rock Climbing” by Mike Graczyk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 15, 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 R and ends with M, 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.
