Symbols on musical staffs crossword clue
44 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 12, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Symbols on musical staffs” is CLEFS. It appears as 44 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 12, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Backing the Odds” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 9, 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 C 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. 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.
