“The Bald Soprano” playwright crossword clue
82 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 28, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““The Bald Soprano” playwright” is IONESCO. It appears as 82 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 28, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Set Piece” by Gary Larson & Amy Ensz, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 15, column 12 of the 21×21 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 I and ends with O, and contains 4 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
