The Sharks battle the Jets in it: Abbr. crossword clue
57 Across · WSJ Crossword, November 11, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “The Sharks battle the Jets in it: Abbr.” is NHL. It appears as 57 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 11, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Look Away” by Alexander Liebeskind, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 13, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with N and ends with L, and contains 0 vowels and 3 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.
