Think out loud crossword clue

3 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 4, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
OPINE
OPINE (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Think out loud” is OPINE. It appears as 3 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 4, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “AI Slop” by Christopher Youngs, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 3 of the 21×21 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 O and ends with E, and contains 3 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.
