How to build HASSLES 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 August 3, 2026 are:
CLO · NES · AM · BIV · ALE · NCE · KIN · DLE · LI · NGU · AL · HAS · SL · ES · EL · EM · EN · TS · SIN · KER
HASSLES is built by combining the tiles HAS · SL · ES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HASSLES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
