How to build FRUITLESS 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 23, 2026 are:
SA · RA · ND · ON · FRU · ITL · ESS · ELV · IRA · TE · LET · HON · GAN · NET · ENT · HU · SE · LE · ATH · ERY
FRUITLESS is built by combining the tiles FRU · ITL · ESS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in FRUITLESS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
