How to build GAFFE 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 July 24, 2026 are:

GA · FFE · ZO · LA · CA · ST · LE · REA · GH · FAL · LOW · CLE · ARY · SUP · ERI · NT · END · LIT · HES · OME

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