Wine cask deposit crossword clue
40 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 2, 2026 · 6 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Wine cask deposit” is TARTAR. It appears as 40 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 2, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Success Story” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 6 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 12 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 T and ends with R, 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. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
