How to build MUSCLY 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 2's tiles for August 26, 2026 are:

WAX · ING · WI · ZEN · ED · AER · AT · ING · CI · VIL · IZ · ES · AR · CH · ER · CIN · DE · RS · MUS · CLY

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