Throw in a chip crossword clue

68 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 15, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer

ANTE

ANTE (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Throw in a chip” is ANTE. It appears as 68 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 15, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Compendium” by Andrea Carla Michaels & Mike Torch, and it fills 4 squares running left to right from row 15, 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 A and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels 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. Tuesday puzzles stay approachable with light wordplay, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
