How to build CLAY 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 13, 2026 are:
FI · RE · WO · RK · BE · LLW · AY · NA · STY · CH · AR · IS · MA · CL · AY · TE · ND · ER · BL · OOM
CLAY is built by combining the tiles CL · AY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CLAY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
