Why the answer is DEVON
DEVON fits the clue “county of SW England” on Puzzle 8 for Friday, September 18, 2026. At 5 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 DEVON 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 8's tiles for September 18, 2026 are:
COA · CHE · LLA · LE · EK · REV · ELAT · ORY · DE · VON
DEVON is built by combining the tiles DE · VON in order — 2 of the ten.
What this unlocks
Because the ten tiles cover the four answers exactly, with none left over, placing DEVON removes 2 tiles from play and makes the rest of Puzzle 8 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.
