Strays crossword clue
55 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 10, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Strays” is ERRS. It appears as 55 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 10, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “What Are You Waiting For?” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 8 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 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
