How to build OLIVER 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 12, 2026 are:
MU · GGY · NO · BBS · DO · DD · LE · CI · RC · LE · OL · IV · ER · WOR · DI · ER · SEN · IO · RI · TY
OLIVER is built by combining the tiles OL · IV · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in OLIVER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
