Why the answer is LESLIE

LESLIE fits the clue Knope of “Parks and Rec” on Puzzle 8 for Wednesday, September 23, 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 LESLIE 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 23, 2026 are:

DIAB · OLIC · SH · IN · NI · ES · NOST · RIL · LE · SLIE

LESLIE is built by combining the tiles LE · SLIE in order — 2 of the ten.

What this unlocks

Because the ten tiles cover the four answers exactly, with none left over, placing LESLIE 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.
