How to build WORKS 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 12, 2026 are:
LA · NSB · URY · PER · SIS · TED · IN · COH · ER · ENT · AB · SOL · UTI · ON · UNR · EAD · CLE · ATS · WO · RKS
WORKS is built by combining the tiles WO · RKS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WORKS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
