How to build RAINCOAT 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 September 7, 2026 are:
SEP · TUM · MAL · LET · RA · IN · CO · AT · DO · UB · LED · DR · EG · HA · ND · WR · OTE · KE · EP · ER
RAINCOAT is built by combining the tiles RA · IN · CO · AT in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in RAINCOAT early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
