March 21, 2022 — Complete Answer Guide
This page has every answer to the 7 Little Words puzzle published on March 21, 2022, a Monday. There are 9 answers in total, running from 4 to 11 letters and 73 letters combined. That puts this date below the archive-wide average of 10.3 answers per day.
The longest answer is BOUTONNIERE at 11 letters, and the shortest is SAGS 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 9 answers there are 5 different answer lengths, and 8 letters is the most common at 3 of them — useful when you are matching tile groups, because the length rules out most combinations before you try any. The answers use 28 vowels in total out of 73 letters, so vowel-heavy fragments are worth placing early on this board.

3 Tips for 7 Little Words
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.
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.
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 Solve a 7 Little Words Level
The order that clears a board fastest.
Read what you are given
Letters, tiles or clues — count them before you start. That constraint is the strongest filter you have.
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.
Work outwards
Follow the chain from what you have placed rather than jumping around the board.
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.
