How to build TERMINATED 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 2's tiles for September 4, 2026 are:

BLU · NDER · COU · NT · ER · ED · TER · MIN · ATED · DE · MAN · DI · NGLY · PIN · KER · SO · FT · WARE · PETR · ELS

TERMINATED is built by combining the tiles TER · MIN · ATED in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in TERMINATED early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
