How to build CRUMPLE 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 July 20, 2026 are:

CA · PIT · AL · TH · RO · WS · OKL · AHO · MA · CU · TIC · LES · PU · MP · ED · CR · UMP · LE · FRA · ME

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