Sunflower supporters crossword clue
55 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 21, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Sunflower supporters” is STEMS. It appears as 55 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 21, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Variety Pack” by Zhouqin Burnikel, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 12, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with S and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 4 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.
