Stallion or stag, e.g. crossword clue
16 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 9, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Stallion or stag, e.g.” is MALE. It appears as 16 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 9, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “There’s No There There” by Mat Holmes, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 2, column 12 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 M and ends with E, and contains 2 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
