How to build CLOMP 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 October 17, 2026 are:
BA · CK · FL · OW · DEL · RAY · BO · UND · CLO · MP · CLO · THE · SLI · NE · LAG · NI · AP · PE · TO · OLS
CLOMP is built by combining the tiles CLO · MP in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CLOMP early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
