Some Mideastern rulers crossword clue
13 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 29, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Some Mideastern rulers” is EMIRS. It appears as 13 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 29, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Margin of Error” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 2, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
