How to build CENTRALIZE 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 3's tiles for October 12, 2026 are:

SYMP · TOMS · PUNC · TUAT · ES · UNAM · USED · TALL · AHA · SSEE · FA · CTOI · DS · BUIL · DA · BLE · CE · NTR · AL · IZE

CENTRALIZE is built by combining the tiles CE · NTR · AL · IZE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in CENTRALIZE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
