How to build SEVENTY 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 4's tiles for August 26, 2026 are:
RESO · RTED · CON · SI · ST · ED · SEVE · NTY · HE · ADBA · ND · REIG · NITE · SE · ER · SU · CKER · LEG · ITI · MACY
SEVENTY is built by combining the tiles SEVE · NTY in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SEVENTY early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
