How to build NORMALITY 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 August 9, 2026 are:
PRO · LOG · UE · TU · TEE · EN · CLO · SE · IM · AX · LAS · SIE · KIN · ES · IOL · OGY · NO · RM · AL · ITY
NORMALITY is built by combining the tiles NO · RM · AL · ITY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in NORMALITY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
