How to build YAWNING 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 July 26, 2026 are:
SPO · NGE · MA · GIS · TER · IAL · YAW · NI · NG · SAY · ING · OBL · IGE · CON · NEC · TIC · UT · OUT · SID · ERS
YAWNING is built by combining the tiles YAW · NI · NG in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in YAWNING early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
