How to build POPULATION 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 5's tiles for September 9, 2026 are:

PU · NI · SHME · NT · HARR · ISON · MA · NIC · URI · ST · CARA · VELS · MIS · ANTH · ROPE · POP · ULA · TION · FAS · CIA

POPULATION is built by combining the tiles POP · ULA · TION in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in POPULATION early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
