Why the answer is LUPITA
LUPITA fits the clue “Black Panther” star Nyong'o on Puzzle 10 for Monday, October 5, 2026. At 6 letters, it's one of the words you assemble from that puzzle's bank of ten tiles — and locking it in early clears tiles for the other three clues.
How to build LUPITA 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 October 5, 2026 are:
SPL · ASH · ING · FE · NCE · ROW · LUP · ITA · PU · CK
LUPITA is built by combining the tiles LUP · ITA in order — 2 of the ten.
What this unlocks
Because the ten tiles cover the four answers exactly, with none left over, placing LUPITA removes 2 tiles from play and makes the rest of Puzzle 10 measurably easier. If this was your third answer, the tiles still sitting on the board are the fourth word — you can often assemble it without working out the clue at all.
