Trail behind crossword clue
30 Across · WSJ Crossword, June 20, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Trail behind” is LAG. It appears as 30 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 20, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Six-Packs” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 4, column 19 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 L and ends with G, and contains 1 vowel 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. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
