How to build ACADEMIES 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 4's tiles for August 31, 2026 are:
BA · RONE · TCY · ACAD · EMI · ES · TOD · DL · ED · LIMP · ID · NESS · UNI · TS · RE · EXA · MI · NED · SUDA · NESE
ACADEMIES is built by combining the tiles ACAD · EMI · ES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ACADEMIES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
