“You missed your opportunity” crossword clue

45 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 22, 2026 · 10 letters

Answer
ITSTOOLATE
ITSTOOLATE (10 letters)

Explanation

The answer to ““You missed your opportunity”” is ITSTOOLATE. It appears as 45 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of July 22, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Sitting Around” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 10 squares running left to right from row 10, column 1 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 Down 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.
