Source of a draft crossword clue
53 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 24, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Source of a draft” is TAP. It appears as 53 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 24, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “It All Adds Up” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 of the 21×21 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 T and ends with P, 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. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
