How to build HORNETS 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 1's tiles for August 21, 2026 are:

KI · TT · EN · BRO · NX · GI · ORG · IO · CL · OWN · ISH · PU · PU · SA · VO · LC · ANO · HOR · NE · TS

HORNETS is built by combining the tiles HOR · NE · TS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HORNETS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
