Welcome gift in Waikiki crossword clue
39 Across · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Welcome gift in Waikiki” is LEI. It appears as 39 Across 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 left to right from row 8, column 7 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 L and ends with I, and contains 2 vowels and 1 consonant. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down 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.
