“The Little Mermaid” prince crossword clue
26 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 12, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““The Little Mermaid” prince” is ERIC. It appears as 26 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 12, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Backing the Odds” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 6, 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 C, and contains 2 vowels and 2 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.
