How to build MIEVILLE 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 29, 2026 are:

MO · RG · AN · DUL · LNE · SS · PU · RPO · RT · DE · NT · IN · KER · ALA · MIE · VIL · LE · PHA · LAR · OPE

MIEVILLE is built by combining the tiles MIE · VIL · LE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in MIEVILLE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
