Why the answer is LEYDEN

How to build LEYDEN 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 September 23, 2026 are:

MA · JES · TIC · REB · UTS · AM · YGD · ALA · LEY · DEN

LEYDEN is built by combining the tiles LEY · DEN in order — 2 of the ten.

What this unlocks

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