How to build WEBBING 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 5's tiles for October 3, 2026 are:

GRO · OVI · ER · CI · NCH · WEBB · ING · SA · USA · GE

WEBBING is built by combining the tiles WEBB · ING in order — 2 of the ten.

What this unlocks

Because the ten tiles cover the four answers exactly, with none left over, placing WEBBING removes 2 tiles from play and makes the rest of Puzzle 5 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.
