How to build RAVEN 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 2's tiles for September 30, 2026 are:
DES · PER · ADO · MAR · KER · CO · NTI · GU · OUS · POT · BE · LLY · LI · TE · RA · RY · RAV · EN · COU · RTS
RAVEN is built by combining the tiles RAV · EN in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in RAVEN early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
