How to build ESPIONAGE 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 October 8, 2026 are:

AL · AR · MS · PA · SS · ES · NOT · CH · LE · GGY · ES · PI · ONA · GE · CH · YR · ON · UN · SH · OD

ESPIONAGE is built by combining the tiles ES · PI · ONA · GE in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in ESPIONAGE early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
