How to build PROPAGATION 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 18, 2026 are:

WAD · DLE · NE · PAL · EU · PHON · IOUS · PROP · AGAT · ION · PI · NSPO · TTER · SC · RE · AM · WH · IS · TL · ER

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