How to build VERSATILE 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 4, 2026 are:

RAI · NDR · OPS · DUS · KIN · ESS · VER · SAT · ILE · NUM · ER · IC · CLO · UDY · HOT · DOG · GED · OST · EOT · OMY

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