“The Phoenician Scheme” director Anderson crossword clue
28 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 9, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““The Phoenician Scheme” director Anderson” is WES. It appears as 28 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 9, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Cut The Cards” by Stephan Prock & Jeff Chen, and it fills 3 squares running left to right 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 W and ends with S, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
