Wheeler of the WNBA’s Sparks crossword clue
28 Down · WSJ Crossword, August 5, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Wheeler of the WNBA’s Sparks” is ERICA. It appears as 28 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of August 5, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Fine Art” by Shmuel Schmell, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 5, column 14 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 E and ends with A, and contains 3 vowels 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.
