UFO pilots crossword clue
30 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 31, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “UFO pilots” is ETS. It appears as 30 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 31, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “Here’s The Deal” by Zachary David Levy, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 1 of the 15×15 grid.
A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with E and ends with S, 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
