If you’re looking for Monday’s 7 Little Words guide, it’s right here:
Another day, 7 more little (and not so little) words to solve! I’m enjoying this game. It makes you think but never too hard. Some days have themes, others seem a bit more random. Today’s is the latter. Let’s solve it!
If you haven’t played the game yet, you can play 7 Little Words right here.
How To Play 7 Little Words
The game is simple. You have a five-by-five grid of boxes, each containing a group of letters. Above this grid are seven phrases, each giving you a clue to seven words. The number of letters is listed next to each phrase. There is no time limit and no penalty for wrong answers. Solve each one in any order you please.
The example given by the game is “deep fried treats” (6 letters) and the boxes that would create the word are DO + NU + TS for DONUTS. The game is played in UK English, so this could throw a little wrench into things for non-Brits.
Hints and Answers for today’s 7 Little Words
Before we get to the answers, below you’ll find the starting “box” for each word in today’s puzzle. Spoilers ahead!
Here are the first letters of each corresponding word:
- moaning and groaning – FUS
- changes to fit – ADA
- Pollock and Picasso – ART
- canvas covers – TA
- folk singer Arlo – GU
- state of a vacuum – NO
- shark signs – FI
Now here are the full answers.
- moaning and groaning – FUSSING
- changes to fit – ADAPTS
- Pollock and Picasso – ARTISTS
- canvas covers – TARPS
- folk singer Arlo – GUTHRIE
- state of a vacuum – NOTHINGNESS
- shark signs – FINS
This puzzle had one very long word and one very short word. NOTHINGNESS was broken up into several boxes and I didn’t find it until the very end. I kicked things off with ARTISTS and GUTHRIE, which were both pretty easy. With just four letters, FINS was an obvious next choice. The rest were a bit trickier, but with the first handful out of the way, I made short work of them. Huzzah!
