How to build HUNTER 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 October 5, 2026 are:

FOUN · DA · TION · GROO · VED · OVE · RLO · OK · ING · HU · NT · ER · TRA · NS · OM · ADIR · ONDA · CKS · FLO · WN

HUNTER is built by combining the tiles HU · NT · ER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in HUNTER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
