How to build THISTLES 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 4's tiles for September 4, 2026 are:

SP · ID · ERS · SPI · NNER · ETTE · PU · NG · LEN · DS · MO · RPHO · LOGY · CO · MMO · TI · ON · TH · IST · LES

THISTLES is built by combining the tiles TH · IST · LES in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in THISTLES early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
