How to build EMPORIA 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 September 16, 2026 are:
LI · AR · SE · AN · EM · POR · IA · DA · RN · EL · DON · OR · CO · UN · TY · PE · SSI · MI · ST · IC
EMPORIA is built by combining the tiles EM · POR · IA in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in EMPORIA early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
