How to build INQUIRE 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 July 29, 2026 are:
KNO · WLE · DGE · RE · TR · IE · VED · UN · INV · IT · ED · BURN · ING · EXP · ECTA · NTLY · SOUR · CE · INQU · IRE
INQUIRE is built by combining the tiles INQU · IRE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in INQUIRE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
