How to build GIRDERS 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 October 6, 2026 are:

ICH · IRO · LIM · PET · GIR · DE · RS · UPS · ETT · ING · IN · GRE · DIE · NT · FL · US · HES · SEA · SI · DE

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