How to build DREGS 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 3's tiles for August 3, 2026 are:
WHO · OSH · PAB · LO · GAR · GL · ED · DRE · GS · BE · AM · ING · SO · LO · ING · DE · FE · NS · IB · LE
DREGS is built by combining the tiles DRE · GS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in DREGS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
