When doubled, sings crossword clue

49 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 9, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
NAMES
NAMES (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “When doubled, sings” is NAMES. It appears as 49 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 9, 2026, a Saturday puzzle titled “Shifters” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 12 of the 21×21 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with N and ends with S, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. This weekend puzzle uses the largest grid of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
