How to build CHRISTO from the tiles
In 4 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's bank of ten tiles, each two to four letters long, and every tile is used exactly once across the four answers. Puzzle 10's tiles for August 13, 2026 are:
MAG · MA · CON · TRI · BUT · ES · SWI · VET · CHR · ISTO
CHRISTO is built by combining the tiles CHR · ISTO in order — 2 of the ten.
