How to build ABDICATE 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 1's tiles for October 4, 2026 are:
SC · OWL · CAR · AMEL · ACC · ELE · RATE · BEM · US · ED · AB · DI · CA · TE · EPI · GONE · ENDO · GE · NO · US
ABDICATE is built by combining the tiles AB · DI · CA · TE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ABDICATE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
