How to build VOWS 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 1's tiles for October 10, 2026 are:
VO · WS · UNM · ASK · ED · ERI · VO · AN · DE · RS · EN · MON · STE · RA · EST · IVA · TE · OD · YSS · EUS
VOWS is built by combining the tiles VO · WS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in VOWS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
