Explanation
The answer to ““The Da Vinci Code” author Brown” is DAN. It appears as 51 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 19, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Branch Office” by Alan Olschwang, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 10, column 13 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 D and ends with N, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
