How to build BETTER 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 October 18, 2026 are:
WOO · DCUT · TERS · INVA · RIAB · LE · BE · TT · ER · MO · SS · DEF · ERME · NT · PA · RAGR · APH · INST · INC · TS
BETTER is built by combining the tiles BE · TT · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in BETTER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
