Wanders in an airport, for short crossword clue
15 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Wanders in an airport, for short” is TSA. It appears as 15 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 2, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Success Story” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 2, column 9 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with T and ends with A, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
