How to build BEAMS 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 3, 2026 are:
FAT · UO · US · HO · WL · ING · MOU · NT · BAT · TEN · SOP · HIS · TRY · BE · AMS · MEN · HAD · EN · MAL · LET
BEAMS is built by combining the tiles BE · AMS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in BEAMS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
