How to build WEATHERVANE 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 1's tiles for September 23, 2026 are:

GRE · ENS · COM · MIT · WEA · THE · RVA · NE · PRU · DE · NT · BO · NO · BOS · DRA · CON · IAN · COME · DIE · NNE

WEATHERVANE is built by combining the tiles WEA · THE · RVA · NE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in WEATHERVANE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
