Tire tracks crossword clue
10 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 2, 2026 · 4 letters
Answer
RUTS
RUTS (4 letters)
Explanation
The answer to “Tire tracks” is RUTS. It appears as 10 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 2, 2026, a Tuesday puzzle titled “Getting Closer” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 1, column 13 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with R and ends with S, and contains 1 vowel and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across 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.
