How to build REQUIRE 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 1's tiles for September 25, 2026 are:

SPI · LL · ING · REQ · UI · RE · SM · AR · TLY · WAT · ER · CO · LOR · WAST · EFUL · BLEN · HE · IM · LAU · NDRY

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