How to build SEAMAN 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 September 29, 2026 are:
DIS · AR · RAN · GE · SO · MEB · ODY · PU · MP · ED · SON · NET · SEA · MAN · BRI · EFC · ASE · SOM · EH · OW
SEAMAN is built by combining the tiles SEA · MAN in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SEAMAN early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
