How to build ISTANBUL 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 7's tiles for September 28, 2026 are:

MON · ICA · ISTA · NBUL · CO · STAR · RING · COR · DIA · LITY

ISTANBUL is built by combining the tiles ISTA · NBUL in order — 2 of the ten.

What this unlocks
