November 9, 2020 — Complete Answer Guide

This page has every answer to the 7 Little Words puzzle published on November 9, 2020, a Monday. There are 14 answers in total, running from 4 to 9 letters and 100 letters combined. That puts this date above the archive-wide average of 10.3 answers per day.

The longest answer is PANTOMIME at 9 letters, and the shortest is CANS at 4. Placing the longest tile groups first usually cuts the puzzle open, because the remaining fragments are then far easier to match. Each clue below is paired with its verified answer and letter count.

Across the 14 answers there are 5 different answer lengths, and 8 letters is the most common at 5 of them — useful when you are matching tile groups, because the length rules out most combinations before you try any. The answers use 34 vowels in total out of 100 letters, so vowel-heavy fragments are worth placing early on this board.

3 Tips for 7 Little Words

01

The board is the whole puzzle

Every answer is built from what the level actually shows you and nothing else. Counting that first rules out most of what comes to mind, which is quicker than trying words and being rejected.

02

Place the longest answer first

Long answers use up the awkward letters and leave a set that spells the short ones out for you. Starting long is consistently faster than sweeping for three-letter words.

03

Neighbouring levels are the best hint

Difficulty climbs gradually rather than in jumps, so the levels either side of a hard one reuse its patterns. They are more useful than any hint the game sells you.

How to play

How to Solve a 7 Little Words Level

The order that clears a board fastest.

STEP 01

Read what you are given

Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.

STEP 02

Anchor with the answers you are sure of

Each confirmed answer narrows the ones it touches, so the easy entries are worth the first minute.

STEP 03

Work outwards

Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.

How we check

Verified Answers, Not Guesses

How we verify these answers

Every answer on this page is read from the game's own puzzle data rather than retyped from another site, and is checked against what the board actually provides — so nothing listed can use a letter the level does not give you. The counts shown are computed from the stored data, not typed in by hand.
