Snaky shape crossword clue
65 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 28, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Snaky shape” is ESS. It appears as 65 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 28, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Jump Scares” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 15, column 13 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 S, 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.
