How to build EMBOUCHURE 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 4's tiles for August 10, 2026 are:
EMB · OUCH · URE · ALG · ER · IA · VE · XED · OP · AQU · ELY · SUR · TAX · TU · RNI · NG · UNE · XPE · CT · ED
EMBOUCHURE is built by combining the tiles EMB · OUCH · URE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in EMBOUCHURE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
