“You missed your opportunity” crossword clue
45 Across · WSJ Crossword, July 22, 2026 · 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.
