How to build CLEOPATRA 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 September 12, 2026 are:
CL · EOP · ATRA · VI · OL · INI · STS · KHA · LKHA · LAWM · AK · ERS · SHIR · TILY · HV · ALS · EY · PE · RF · ECT
CLEOPATRA is built by combining the tiles CL · EOP · ATRA in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CLEOPATRA early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
