“Well, you should’ve gotten here sooner” crossword clue
3 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 17, 2026 · 10 letters
Explanation
The answer to ““Well, you should’ve gotten here sooner”” is ITSTOOLATE. It appears as 3 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 17, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Opposites Attract” by Hunter Murphy, and it fills 10 squares running top to bottom from row 1, 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 I and ends with E, and contains 5 vowels and 5 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.
