How 4 Little Words works

Rule	Detail
Goal	Spell four mystery words per puzzle by combining letter tiles — one word per clue.
Ten tiles	Each puzzle has exactly ten tiles of two to four letters, and every tile is used once across the four answers. Nothing is left over.
Letter counts	Every clue shows how many letters its answer has. Answers run about four to ten letters, built from two to four tiles.
Any order	There's no timer and no penalty for guessing. Solve the clues in whatever order you like and rearrange tiles freely.
Ten a day	Blue Ox publishes ten puzzles daily — 40 answers in total — resetting at midnight Eastern Time.

Tips for solving 4 Little Words

Solve three, get the fourth free. Ten tiles cover exactly four answers with none left over, so once three words are locked in, the leftover tiles are the last answer — you can often assemble it without ever working out the clue.
Go by letter count, not clue order. The shortest answer is usually just two tiles, which is a handful of combinations to eyeball versus dozens for a nine- or ten-letter word.
Read the tiles as word parts. Fragments like RE, UN, ING, TION and ER are almost always prefixes or suffixes, so you can guess where a tile sits in a word before you know the word.
Only ten tiles means you can brute-force the endings. Scan the bank for tiles that could plausibly finish a word of the right length and work backwards from there.
When two clues could take the same tile, solve the more specific one first — proper nouns and single-answer trivia clues are far less flexible than a general definition.
Stuck on just one word? Open its clue page for a letter-by-letter reveal, so you can uncover a couple of letters without spoiling the other three answers.
