How to build SPLATTER 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 25, 2026 are:
DI · MINU · TIVE · POS · TLU · DES · LIMN · OLO · GIST · CON · TEST · ANTS · SP · LATT · ER · SITC · OM · VI · CTO · RIA
SPLATTER is built by combining the tiles SP · LATT · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SPLATTER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
