How to build PROPOSING 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 September 14, 2026 are:
CAN · INE · PRO · POS · ING · CO · URT · DU · NGA · RE · ES · TRU · THS · ST · RIC · TN · ESS · WAI · TRE · SS
PROPOSING is built by combining the tiles PRO · POS · ING in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in PROPOSING early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
