From the clues and common crossword usage, a likely answer to “Question from a troll” is UMAD. This fits the contemporary slang sense where a troll would mock or provoke, prompting someone to respond with “you’re mad” or “umad.” Several puzzle databases list UMAD as a standard 4-letter fill for that clue in recent LA Times/related crosswords, though other common troll-related answers include OGRE, GNOME, or BAITER depending on length and crossing letters. If you can share the exact grid size or some crossing letters, the precise fill can be confirmed quickly. If you’re solving today’s LA Times Daily puzzle (or a juice of a similar theme), here are typical 4-letter possibilities you might encounter for “Troll” or related variants:
- UMAD (colloquial, modern slang for someone reacting to a troll)
- OGRE (mythical troll-type creature)
- GNOME (another mythical creature sometimes clued as a troll-type)
- BAIT or BAITER (troll-related terms; BAITER is 6 letters)
