How to build PROCEDURES from the tiles

In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 2's tiles for August 18, 2026 are:

HE · ADS · TAND · PRO · CED · URES · BL · ACK · BA · LL · MIRT · HLE · SS · CO · LL · UDED · GEST · URES · TRA · CKER

PROCEDURES is built by combining the tiles PRO · CED · URES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in PROCEDURES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
