How to build DRIER 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 October 4, 2026 are:
CAN · OP · US · AR · TW · ORK · DRI · ER · PLA · UD · IT · WE · ST · ER · NS · BI · SE · CT · OS · AGE
DRIER is built by combining the tiles DRI · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in DRIER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
