Soap bubble, e.g. crossword clue
41 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 24, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Soap bubble, e.g.” is ORB. It appears as 41 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 24, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Madame X” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 6 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 O and ends with B, 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
