Some Army NCOs crossword clue
53 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 18, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Some Army NCOs” is SSGTS. It appears as 53 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 18, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Not a Straight Answer” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 10, column 15 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 S and ends with S, and contains 0 vowels and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
