About 7 Little Words
7 Little Words is a daily word puzzle published by Blue Ox Family Games. Each puzzle gives you seven cryptic clues and a grid of letter tiles. Your job is to combine the tiles to form a word that matches each clue.
The clues are usually short phrases or definitions, and the answers range from 4 to 12 letters long. Letter tiles can contain 2, 3, or 4 letters at a time, so you're piecing together word fragments rather than spelling letter-by-letter. The game launched as a mobile app in 2011 and has since added a daily web version, weekly puzzle packs, and themed editions.
This archive contains every 7 Little Words daily puzzle with verified answers. Each clue also has its own permanent page, so if you saw a clue elsewhere you can search for it directly to find the answer.
How to play 7 Little Words
Open 7 Little Words on the web or download the app. The daily puzzle gives you seven clues and a grid of letter tiles.
Read the first clue. Look at the grid — each tile contains 2 to 4 letters. Tap or click tiles in order to spell the answer.
When the answer is correct, the tiles you used are removed from the grid and the clue is marked solved. The remaining tiles can only form the remaining 6 answers.
Continue solving each clue. The answer length is shown next to the clue (e.g., "7" means a 7-letter answer). All 7 answers together use every tile in the grid exactly once.
Solve all 7 clues to complete the puzzle. A new puzzle is published every day; weekly packs and themed editions are also available.

Strategy & tips
Length first
Use the answer length as your anchor
The number next to each clue tells you exactly how many letters the answer has. Combine that with the clue and you've usually narrowed it to one or two candidates.
Easy clues first
Solve the obvious ones to free up tiles
Each correct answer removes its tiles from the grid. Solving the easy clues first dramatically narrows your options for the harder clues, since fewer tiles remain.
Tile chunks
Look for distinctive multi-letter tiles
If you see a tile like TION, ING, or QU, that's likely the ending or distinctive part of one specific answer. Build that answer first.
Compound words
Watch for compound and hyphenated forms
Many answers are compound words like FIREFLY, SUNRISE, or BACKPACK. If a clue feels too vague, think about whether it could combine two simpler words.
Stuck?
Try the synonym route
7 Little Words clues are often loose synonyms. "Spotted feline" could be LEOPARD, JAGUAR, or OCELOT — use the letter count to pick the right one.
