Teddy’s neighbor on Mount Rushmore crossword clue
38 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 22, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Teddy’s neighbor on Mount Rushmore” is ABE. It appears as 38 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 22, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Sitting Around” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 10 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 A and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
