How to build ALEUTIANS 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 1's tiles for August 10, 2026 are:
REA · DER · REPL · ACEM · ENT · GE · NT · LENE · SS · LI · STE · NED · INHE · RIT · ALE · UT · IANS · CALC · ULA · TORS
ALEUTIANS is built by combining the tiles ALE · UT · IANS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ALEUTIANS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
