How to build YORKSHIRE 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 4's tiles for October 15, 2026 are:

YOR · KS · HIRE · EQ · UI · VO · CAL · IODI · SE · GRO · UNDS · HEET · HAR · IS · SA · POL · YHED · RONS · VEL · DT

YORKSHIRE is built by combining the tiles YOR · KS · HIRE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in YORKSHIRE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
