How to build PATROLLING 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 August 2, 2026 are:

INJE · CTOR · BORE · HOLE · JEL · LI · ED · WE · ALT · HIER · PRE · FIG · URED · DI · SC · IPLE · PAT · ROL · LI · NG

PATROLLING is built by combining the tiles PAT · ROL · LI · NG in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in PATROLLING early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
