Subject of some down-vs.-up arguments crossword clue
25 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 26, 2026 · 10 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Subject of some down-vs.-up arguments” is TOILETSEAT. It appears as 25 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 26, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Stroke Of Luck” by Freddie Cheng, and it fills 10 squares running left to right from row 5, column 6 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 T and ends with T, and contains 5 vowels and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
