How to build CIRCLE 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 · GI · BBS · DE · LE · CTA · TI · ON · CIR · CLE · OL · IV · ER · WOR · DI · ER · SEN · IOR · ITY
CIRCLE is built by combining the tiles CIR · CLE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CIRCLE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
