Tiny bits crossword clue
22 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 19, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Tiny bits” is IOTAS. It appears as 22 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 19, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Split Decision” by Adam Simpson, and it fills 5 squares running left to right from row 4, column 11 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with I and ends with S, and contains 3 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
