Answer to the LA Times crossword clue Soft end of a pencil featured in the LA Times puzzle is ERASER.

The "ERASER" is the soft, often pink, rubbery part found at one end of a pencil. Its primary function is to remove pencil marks from paper or other surfaces by rubbing or erasing. Erasers work by friction, lifting graphite or pencil lead particles from the paper's surface when rubbed gently.

Traditionally made from synthetic rubber compounds, erasers come in various shapes and sizes to fit different types of pencils and user preferences. They are designed to be gentle on paper to prevent tearing or damaging the surface while effectively removing pencil marks.

In addition to pencils, erasers are also used with other writing implements, such as pens or mechanical pencils, that use graphite or ink that can be erased. Some erasers are attached to the end of pencils (called pencil-top erasers), while others are standalone items or integrated into mechanical pencils.
