Spheres of interest crossword clue
15 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Spheres of interest” is AREAS. It appears as 15 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 2, column 7 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 A and ends with S, and contains 3 vowels 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
