It has been established in recent years how to approach acyclic cluster algebras of finite type using subword complexes. We continue this study by uniformly describing the - and -vectors, and by providing a conjectured description of the Newton polytopes of the -polynomials. We moreover show that this conjectured description would imply that finite type cluster complexes are realized by the duals of the Minkowski sums of the Newton polytopes of either the -polynomials or of the cluster variables, respectively. We prove this conjectured description to hold in type and in all types of rank at most including all exceptional types, leaving types , , and conjectural.
