How to build MASALA 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 5's tiles for October 19, 2026 are:
PON · DER · OSA · EI · NST · EI · NI · UM · PI · CKE · REL · MAS · ALA · FR · AN · DA · NDI · ER · LO · BBY
MASALA is built by combining the tiles MAS · ALA in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MASALA early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
