Vein setting crossword clue
87 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 30, 2026 · 4 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Vein setting” is MINE. It appears as 87 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 30, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Finding the Sweet Spot” by Joseph Gangi, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 15, column 6 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 M and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels 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. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
