How to build FOLKS 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 2's tiles for August 8, 2026 are:
TH · EY · ADO · RED · CA · TA · LO · GU · ES · FO · LKS · NOR · TON · GO · NZ · AL · EZ · GAR · DEN · IA
FOLKS is built by combining the tiles FO · LKS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in FOLKS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
