Throw wildly, say crossword clue
12 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Throw wildly, say” is ERR. It appears as 12 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 2, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Success Story” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 15 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with E and ends with R, and contains 1 vowel 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
