“Smokey and the Bandit” car crossword clue
37 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 30, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Smokey and the Bandit” car” is TRANSAM. It appears as 37 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 30, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Overstepping” by Paul Hudes, and it fills 7 squares running left to right from row 8, 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 T and ends with M, and contains 2 vowels and 5 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.
