What keycards provide crossword clue

79 Down · WSJ Crossword, July 17, 2026 · 6 letters

Answer
ACCESS
ACCESS (6 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “What keycards provide” is ACCESS. It appears as 79 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 17, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “Oh, Grow Up!” by Aaron Ullman, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 15 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 A and ends with S, and contains 2 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. 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.
