TSA is part of it crossword clue

41 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 18, 2026 · 3 letters

Answer
DHS
DHS (3 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “TSA is part of it” is DHS. It appears as 41 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 18, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “Not a Straight Answer” by Ella Dershowitz, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 11 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 D and ends with S, and contains 0 vowels 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. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
