Sonneteer’s sundown crossword clue
8 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 14, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Sonneteer’s sundown” is EEN. It appears as 8 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 14, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Tuneup” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 9 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 N, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
