Very many crossword clue
42 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 15, 2026 · 7 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Very many” is ASLEWOF. It appears as 42 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 15, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Drop Dead Gorgeous” by Zachary David Levy, and it fills 7 squares running top to bottom from row 9, column 3 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 A and ends with F, and contains 3 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
