Sweepstakes submission crossword clue

44 Across · WSJ Crossword, May 8, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
ENTRY
ENTRY (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Sweepstakes submission” is ENTRY. It appears as 44 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 8, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Before the Second Half” by Patrick Berry, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 9, column 1 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 E and ends with Y, 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. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
