How to build ORIGINALLY from the tiles
In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 5's tiles for July 19, 2026 are:
RUC · HI · NG · KR · ALL · SE · TB · ACK · OR · IG · IN · AL · LY · STI · NG · ROA · LD · AN · KL · ET
ORIGINALLY is built by combining the tiles OR · IG · IN · AL · LY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ORIGINALLY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
