How to build ADJECTIVES 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 3's tiles for September 4, 2026 are:
WIN · DSO · CK · DIC · EY · MOL · DER · WH · ALE · RS · HYG · ROM · ET · ER · ADJ · ECT · IV · ES · KAN · GA
ADJECTIVES is built by combining the tiles ADJ · ECT · IV · ES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ADJECTIVES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
