"Today Means ___" (Sierra DeMulder poem) USA TODAY Crossword clue
Editorially reviewed September 7, 2026
Answer · 4 letters
AMEN
AMEN completes Today Means Amen. The named poet and quoted title identify the exact missing word, rather than asking for a synonym of today or means. The publisher confirms that the poem gives its title to the collection.

A search for this title can lead to the poetry collection rather than a standalone poem. That is not a different work with an accidental title match: the publisher explicitly says the poem lends its name to the collection.
Fill only the blank
Enter A M E N in four squares. TODAY and MEANS are already supplied by the clue, so they are not part of the fill. The author's name is the identity check; guessing a word merely because it sounds like a plausible poem ending is not enough.
