They lay big eggs crossword clue
59 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 9, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “They lay big eggs” is EMUS. It appears as 59 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 9, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “There’s No There There” by Mat Holmes, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 14 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
