YouTube offering, for short crossword clue
58 Down · WSJ Crossword, May 11, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “YouTube offering, for short” is VID. It appears as 58 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of May 11, 2026, a Monday puzzle titled “The Bottom Line” by Peter A. Collins, and it fills 3 squares running top to bottom from row 13, column 11 of the 15×15 grid.
The shortening cue in the clue tells you to expect an abbreviation or initials rather than a full word. The entry begins with V and ends with D, and contains 1 vowel 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. Monday puzzles are the most approachable of the week, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
Past appearances
VID has not appeared as an answer in any other WSJ puzzle in our index, which runs from May 2026 onward. It will be listed here the next time it turns up.
