How to build SPELUNKER 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 18, 2026 are:

CA · TC · HER · WAR · REN · GL · OW · ER · SPE · LUN · KER · ABO · RT · ACC · ES · SO · RY · TO · WA · RDS

SPELUNKER is built by combining the tiles SPE · LUN · KER in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SPELUNKER early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
