How to build INNOVATIVE 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 4's tiles for July 25, 2026 are:
OZZ · IE · WAR · RAN · TEE · INN · OVA · TIVE · MIS · ER · LY · KN · EE · ING · EA · RL · ZIM · BA · BW · EAN
INNOVATIVE is built by combining the tiles INN · OVA · TIVE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in INNOVATIVE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
