How to build BRAINIEST 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 4's tiles for October 5, 2026 are:
FALS · IF · IED · BELL · WE · THER · FORE · BODE · LIST · ENI · NG · BRAI · NIE · ST · SE · RVI · CE · ABLE · SONG · BOOK
BRAINIEST is built by combining the tiles BRAI · NIE · ST in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in BRAINIEST early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
