How to build STERILIZED 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 14, 2026 are:
SA · NI · TAT · ION · DEFR · OSTS · ALDE · AN · WRON · GF · UL · LY · UNF · UN · NY · ST · ERIL · IZED · SQ · UIRT
STERILIZED is built by combining the tiles ST · ERIL · IZED in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in STERILIZED early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
